Addresses the colourful and diverse history of Shi' Islam in both premodern and contemporary times. Focusing specifically on the importance of apocalypticism in the development of modern Shi'i theology, this book shows how an immersion in messianic ideas has shaped the conservative character of much Shi'i thinking.
