The Flourishing of Islamic Reformism in Iran : Political Islamic Groups in Iran (1941-61) Paperback / softback
by Seyed Mohammad Ali Taghavi
Part of the Routledge Studies in Political Islam series
Paperback / softback
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.
