Shiite Eschatology: The Mahdi in Shiite Thought (Chiisme, Messianisme, Mahdisme, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Twelve chapters. Twelve Imams. A doctrinal saga unraveled.
This book dives into the heart of Shiite Imamism, exposing its eschatological myths, political entanglements, and theological excesses. With sharp irony and meticulous sourcing, the author dissects centuries of messianic narratives—from Karbala to Tehran, from occultation to drone diplomacy.
Is the Mahdi a redeemer or a tool of vengeance?
Is Iran a revolutionary beacon or a pawn in a larger game?
Are these doctrines divine revelations—or strategic inventions?
Through historical analysis and biting commentary, this work challenges the reader to rethink what lies behind the sacred veil. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of religion, power, and myth in the modern Middle East.
