The Qur'an between the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic is
one of the few book-length studies on an Ottoman Qur'an commentary.
Its premise is that "the Ottoman Empire" did not come to an end
until 1950 so far as Islam was concerned in Turkey. The work
explores the relationship between Elmalili's Qur'an commentary and
the intellectual trends of the period, including the impact of
materialism, the sciences, notions of civilizational progress, and
philosophy. In doing so, this study emphasizes the "local" aspect
of the Qur'an commentary, through a sustained focus on the Istanbul
context in which it was written. This work demonstrates that
Elmalili's Qur'an commentary is a product of and reaction to the
religious, intellectual, political, and social trends of the
period. This work, in considering all the factors that led to the
commissioning of Elmalili's Qur'an commentary, also contributes to
our understanding of the history of Islam in early to
mid-twentieth-century Turkey. This intellectual history of modern
Islamic thought contributes to our understanding of the genre of
Qur'an commentary in the early twentieth century. It is a key text
for students and scholars interested in Islam in the Ottoman Empire
and Turkey, modern Islamic thought, and the Middle East.
