Religion, Orientalism and Modernity
Av Geoffrey Nash, 2022.Del av serien Edinburgh Historical Studies of Iran and the Persian World.
Mahdi Movements of Iran and South Asia
Geoffrey Nash explores the emergence of the revolutionary Babis and reformist Baha?is and their conflict with mainstream Shi?a Muslims in Iran, and of the parallel Ahmadi movement in North India. It gives fresh insights into the writings that defined these innovatory movements, penned on the one hand by their proponents, and on the other by western interpreters. Comparing these movements shows that, together, they define important aspects of Islamic modernity. A focus on two case studies (Babis and Baha?is in Iran, and Ahmadis in India) reveals similarities and differences in their responses to a perceived need for change and renewal of religious authority.
