This ground-breaking and controversial work locates the antecedents of today''s Islamic ''fundamentalism'' in 16th and 17th century Iran and the forced conversion of the Sunnite population of Iran to the largely alien doctrines of Twelver Shi''ism; the concomitant extirpation of Sufism and philosophy; and the gradual rise of the ''faqih'' or jurist.

Industry Reviews

'A fascinating account...immensely absorbing and instructive. ... An in-depth account of how competing understandings of Islam from the early sixteenth century onwards gradually led to the establishment of Twelver Shi'ism as the official religion of the Iranian state. A masterpiece, which cannot be ignored by anyone interested in the history of the Twelvers and of Iran more generally.' - The Muslim World Book Review
