History of the Barbarian, Religion of the Oppressed, Dr. A work that carefully focuses on Hikmet Kıvılcımlı's theories in the field of religion and history, which are at the center of his original intellectual production. Kıvılcımlı thought of the barbarism-civilization tension as a motor force of historical flow. He found "anti-religion" meaningless and read religious narratives as a source that reflected all the problems of real life. Canan Özcan Eliaçık focuses on the intricacies of this theoretical effort to which Kıvılcımlı devoted his life.
