A Modern Example of Discourses Between Christians and Muslims

Abstract

It is well documented that from approximately the 8th or 9th century onward, Christians and Muslims engaged in theological discourse and even composed refutations of one another. This article examines the correspondence of Samiha Ayverdi, a contemporary Turkish Sufi, with Protestant missionaries operating in the country, through which she engaged in intellectual and theological discourse. Her interpretations of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity, such as the Trinity, the Bible, the crucifixion, and original sin, have been discussed in detail. What makes the article original is her approach to these doctrines from a Sufi perspective. In this context, our study presents a unique example of Muslim-Christian discourses in modern times within the field of the comparative history of religions.

Evaluation Process
Academic studies submitted to the Journal of Scientific Mysticism and Literature are primarily pre-evaluated by the editorial board in compliance with the journal's focus and scope. The suitable studies are then transferred to the field editor and sent to the double referee for field evaluation. The double-masked peer review application is valid, and the referee cannot see the information of the academic study owners. Reviewers are given 30 days to complete their review for formality and originality.
As a result of the reports from the referees:
1. Accepting the application (no editing needed),
2. Minor editing required (Author will be accepted if they make the minor corrections specified),
3. Major editing required (Author will be accepted if they make the essential corrections indicated),
3. Reject application (if the writing is substandard)
It must specify one of its options. In case of an "accept the application" or a "reject the application" evaluation from the
referees, the article is sent to a third referee to be examined for formality and originality. Then, all evaluations on the subject are sent to the author. A stylistic change may be requested if the language or writing style is substandard. The editorial board makes the final decision regarding the publication of the studies.
Authors are advised to download and review all evaluation forms (form and content pre-evaluation, field editor, and referee forms) used by the journal to guide them while writing their article proposals.
Before the author receives final approval for their articles, they must complete the commitment or declaration of originality form (Form 1.a) and send it to the journal editor.
