Its bearers first emerged as a sectarian elite, then a hierocracy and finally a theocracy. Imamate, Occultation and the theodicy of martyrdom are identified as the main components of the Shi?ism as a world religion. In these collected essays Arjomand has persistenly developed a Weberian theoretical framework for the analysis of Shi?ism, from its sectarian formation in the eighth century through the establishment of the Safavid empire in the sixteenth century, to the Islamic revolution in Iran in the twentieth century. These studies highlight revolutionary impulses embedded in the belief in the advent of the hidden Imam, and the impact of Shi?ite political ethics on the authority structure of pre-modern Iran and the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. 606 $aShi??ah 606 $aShi??ah$2fast 607 $aIran$xHistory 607 $aIran$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aShi??ah. 615 7$aShi??ah. 676 $a306.6/9782 700 $aArjomand$b Said Amir$0636664 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825807703321 996 $aSociology of Shi'ite Islam$93984881 997 $aUNINA
