Description

During the 1940s and 1950s, Islamic reformism flourished in Iran.

This book examines how Iranian Islamic groups came to rethink traditional accounts of religion and nurture a politicized version of Islam.

The author shows how similar social and political circumstances, but different family and educational backgrounds gave rise to socialist, democratic/scientific and fundamentalist/militant reinterpretations of Islam.

What was common among these groups was a tendency towards politicizing the religion.

A significant contribution to discussions of contemporary political thought in Iran, this book will be of interest to researchers and academics of Islamic political though and Iranian politics and history.
