Description
The Shia Revival by Seyyed Vali Reza Nasr is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex and often contentious relationship between Shias and Sunnis within Islam. With a broad geographical scope and illuminating anecdotes, this book provides a unique understanding of the 1,400-year struggle between these two branches of the faith. Brilliantly dissecting the political and theological antagonisms at its heart, The Shia Revival sheds crucial light on the modern-day consequences of this bitter struggle. Ten years after its original publication, this book remains timely and essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Middle East. A new epilogue brings the story up to date, providing insight into the rise of ISIS and ongoing tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
