Why is Twelver Shi`ism one of themAs the established faith in modern Iran, the majority faith in Iraq and areas in the Gulf and with its adherents forming sizeable minorities elsewhere in the region, Twelver Shi'ism is arguably the most successful branch of Shi'ism. Andrew J. Newman chronicles the progression of Twelver Shiism, exploring the numerous external challenges and internal disagreements that marked the lives of believers in pockets across the Middle East to the early 18th century. During this time, from the 13th to the 15th century especially, with scholarly activity and the availability of earlier key texts of the faith limited, the region's many millenarian doctrines and movements threatened its demise. Only by the late 17th century was Twelver Shiism's survival assured, both in Iran and elsewhere in the region. 410 4$aThe New Edinburgh Islamic Surveys 606 $aShåi°ah$xHistory 606 $aShåi°ah$xDoctrines$xHistory 606 $aImams (Shiites) 615 0$aShåi°ah$xHistory 615 0$aShåi°ah$xDoctrines$xHistory 615 0$aImams (Shiites) 676 $a297.8209 700 $aNewman$b Andrew J$0772147 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789038703321 996 $aTwelver Shiism$93771586 997 $aUNINA
