Uncover Iran’s complex spiritual and political journey through two centuries. This groundbreaking study traces how contending visions of the divine have shaped Iran’s capital, from the Qajar era to the Islamic Republic. Kamaly delves into how notions of God influenced concepts of nature, reason, law, and authority. Examining government policies, popular beliefs, and intellectual discourse, the book illuminates continuities and changes in religiosity, messianic expectations, and the rise of state religion. Offering a novel perspective on Iranian modernity, it includes minority voices and is essential for scholars and students of Middle Eastern studies, religious thought, and intellectual history.
