Due to the great demand for the English edition of the book of the Third International Symposium on Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, we are offering in the present volume the first twenty-seven of the papers presented during the Symposium. Readers may refer to the Contents at the beginning of the book to see the titles both of these and of the remaining papers. It is hoped to complete the task of translation as soon as possible and offer all fifty-eight papers in one complete volume.
