Ottoman Ulema, Turkish Republic: Agents of Change and Guardians of Tradition

Abstract: To better understand the diverse inheritance of Islamic movements in present-day Turkey, we must take a closer look at the religious establishment, the ulema, during the first half of the twentieth century. During the closing years of the Ottoman Empire and the early decades of the Republic of Turkey, the spread of secularist and anti-religious ideas had a major impact on the views and political leanings of the ulema. This book explores the intellectual debates and political movements of the religious establishment during this time. Bein reveals how competing visions of development influenced debates about reforms in religious education and the modernization of the medreses. He also explores the reactions and changing attitudes of Islamic intellectuals to the religious policies of the secular republic, and provides a better understanding of the changes in the relationship between religion and state. Exposing division within the religious establishment, this book illuminates the ulema's long-lasting legacies still in evidence in Turkey today.

What is wrong with the phenomenological approach to religious education

Abstract: In this article the phenomenological approach to religious education is subjected to careful analysis and criticism. Something of the contemporary debate on the nature of religious education between liberals and conservatives is sketched in, before the origins and nature of the phenomenological approach to the study of religion are considered. This is followed by an account of the way in which the phenomenology of religion proper has been appropriated by educationalists and developed into what is regarded as a suitable methodology for religious education. Finally, it is argued that certain features of a phenomenological approach to religion are untenable in the light of recent work in the philosophy of language and mind.

Religious tourism as an educational experience

Abstract: This chapter explores a phenomenon at the crossroads of three fields: religion, tourism and education. To understand how religious tourism functions as an educational experience, changes that have occurred in each of the three sub-fields are considered, including their cognitive, affective and instrumental impacts. The relationships between the various pairings of these three concepts (religious education, religious tourism and educational tourism) will be discussed in each of their respective fields. In the postmodern age, they have been melded into a concept increasingly important in all three fields. Travelers seeking knowledge and spirituality they feel cannot be found at home have given rise to a growing phenomenon: the educational pilgrimage.
