This volume deals with the history of popular religion in Turkey from its origins in the 13th century, the formation of the heterodoxies known as Bektashism and Alevism which are characterised by their syncretism and their religious tolerance, and the bipartition of these currents, both of which refer to the popular saint Hadji Bektash. This fascinating book analyses their beliefs and practices, offers a summary of their rich literature, and treats of the present evolution of these currents, their further prospects, and their anthropocentric, inter-denominational and ecumenical character.
