Though they are based on the adaptation of Western New Age-inspired models, Bozdağ uses many of the models' parascientific concepts while carefully eliminating other elements that could undermine Islamic normativity. Furthermore, he emphasizes that worldly success must not be sought without being aware of the hereafter. For this purpose, he has written a book dedicated to the interpretation of traditional Islamic eschatology in parascientific terms. The strong emphases on collective normativity and on a theistic worldview clearly characterize his adaption of elements from new religiosities as highly selective and restricted to very specific purposes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Numen: International Review for the History of Religions is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
