Description

Explore the profound impact of revolutionary Shi'i theology in Iran through this academic study from Routledge. As part of the Culture and Civilization in the Middle East series, this book examines how religious experience challenges Western conventions regarding theology, revolution, and the role of religion in identity formation. This work provides a stringent critique of existing literature on political Islam and the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The author argues that many current perspectives fail to treat the revolution and its underlying thought as true religious phenomena. Instead, this text engages with these events through a theologically oriented method. By grounding the discussion in the experience of unconditional faith in God, the book offers a unique lens for understanding the religious drivers behind Iranian political thought. It is an essential resource for students and scholars looking to understand the connection between faith and cultural shifts in the Middle East.
