Shi'ism: A Religion of Protest

Shi'ism: A Religion of Protest

by HamidDabashi (Author)

Synopsis

Exposes the soul of Shi'ism as a religion of protest - successful only when in a warring position, and losing its legitimacy when in power. This book makes a case through a detailed discussion of the Shi'i doctrinal foundations, a panoramic view of its historical unfolding, and a varied investigation into its visual and performing arts.
