Shi'I Reformation In Iran: The Life And Theology Of Shari’At Sangelaji (Routledge New Critical Thinking In Religion, Theology And Biblical Studies)

In Shi'i Reformation in Iran, Rahnema offers a fresh understanding of Sangelaji’s reformist discourse from a theological standpoint, and takes readers into the heart of the key religious debates in Iran in the 1940s. Drawing on the writings of Sangelaji, as well as interviews with his son, the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the reformist’s ideas. As such it offers scholars of religion and Middle Eastern politics alike a penetrating insight into the impact that these ideas have had on Shi’ism–an impact which is still felt today.
