Aras , Bultent and Omer Caha. “Fethullah Gulen and His Liberal ‘Turkish Islam’ Movement.” Middle East Review of International Affairs Journal. Volume 4, No. 4 (December 2000): 13 pages. 6 September, 2005 http://www.biu.ac.il/SOC/besa/meria/journal/2000/issue4/jv4n4a4.html.
The Turkish Islamist movement of Fethullah Gulen is one of the most interesting examples of liberal Islamist thinking in the Middle East. Gulen and his followers have tried to produce a religious-political movement favoring modernism, Turkish nationalism, tolerance, and democracy without sacrificing religious precepts. The structure and philosophy of this movement and its leader have been manifested in many groups and educational institutions. Part of the Turkish secularist elite views Gulen as a progressive development, though others see him as a threat in moderate garb.
The community that has developed under the influence of Fethullah Gulen, a prominent religious leader in Turkey, simultaneously has Islamic, nationalist, liberal, and modern characteristics. Its ability to reconcile traditional Islamic values with modern life and science has won a large, receptive audience. The group has even brought together divergent ideas and people, including the poor and the rich, the educated and the illiterate, Turks and Kurds, as well as Muslims and non-Muslims. Gulen's movement could be a model for the future of Islamic political and social activism.

Babbitt, Kevin. "Mary Magdaleneand the Drama of Saints: Theatre, Gender, and Religion in Late Medieval England." Theatre Journal 57, no. 2 (2005). 331-332. John Hopkins University Press. 10 September 2005. http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/theatre_journal/v057/57.2babbitt.html.
The vita of Mary Magdalene has historically been a site of contention. Although existing evidence suggests otherwise, she has been identified as both the sister of Lazarus and Martha, and the unnamed woman who washed the feet of Jesus with her tears and dried them with her hair. It comes as little surprise, then, that her portrayal in the medieval saint play preserved in Bodleian Library MS Digby 133, commonly referred to as the Digby Mary Magdalene, should be characterized by author Theresa Coletti as the locus of several key theological debates in fifteenth-century East Anglia. Mary Magdalene and the Drama of Saints: Theatre, Gender, and Religion in Late Medieval England, a critical reading of medieval representations of the saint's life and the cultural context in which they were created, provides a compelling portrait of the woman and her impact on the cultural landscape of the Middle Ages. Using emblematic and interpretive processes to define the role of this sinner-turned-saint's social and numinous identity, Coletti propounds the argument that "dramatic discourses, gender ideologies, and vernacular religion converge in late medieval English constructions of Mary Magdalene" (1). Although this argument centers on the Digby manuscript, the author engages a mélange of quite diverse sources—textual and visual—in her exegesis of the subject.
