Caliphate Redefined

In his recent book, "Caliphate Redefined: The Mystical Turn in Ottoman Political Tradition", Dr. Huseyin Yilmaz traces how the Ottomans redefined the caliphate to be at once ruler, spiritual guide, and lawmaker corresponding to the three natures of the Prophet Muhammad. "A masterful work of scholarship, "Caliphate Redefined" is the first comprehensive study of premodern Ottoman political thought to offer an extensive analysis of a wealth of previously unstudied texts in Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman Turkish." Professor Yilmaz is Associate Professor in the Department of History and Art History and is Director of the Ali Vural Ak Center for Global Islamic Studies.
