Sheik Bedreddin Mahmud stood at the forefront of a revolutionary religious and social movement during the period of Ottoman Civil War that followed the defeat of Sultan Bayzeid I by Tamerlane at the battle of Ankara in 1402. One of the leading scholars of his time, Sheik Bedreddin wrote numerous books on philosophy, theology, and Islamic law. He preached a form of pantheism and promoted religious tolerance, seeking to break down the barriers between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism; he also advocated the redistribution of wealth and notions of collective property.
