"This is a rich, highly sophisticated, and well-written study of a variety of ways in which Turkish Muslims have engaged with the Qur'an since the early twentieth century. . . . As an anthropologist, Telliel approaches theography not through abstract theological argumentation, but instead through close attention to the practices and reflections of his interlocutors, such as acts of translation (broadly construed) and 'evidenceseeking.'"-Alireza Doostdar, University of Chicago Divinity School
