Interest in the sociology of religion in Turkey began with the translation of major sociology of religion works from Western culture and with the articles and writings of Ziya Gökalp, Selahaddin Asim, Necmeddin Sadak and H. Ziya Ülken. Until the mid-20th century, this interest continued through translations, articles and writings. In 1949, a sociology of religion department was established in the Faculty of Divinity in Ankara University, and began to work in a way consistent with the Western approach to the sociology of religion. Currently, there are twenty-three sociology of religion departments in various divinity faculties across the country. This field continues the develop through increasing scientific research. Turkish sociologists of religion are seeking wider communication and publication, and to share discussion platforms. © 2009 Social Compass.
