Religious Secularity

A Theological Challenge to the Islamic State

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using Iran as a case study, Ghobadzadeh investigates the paradoxes of the Islamic state ideal. He develops the seemingly oxymoronic term "religious secularity" and uses it to describe the Islamic quest for a democratic secular state.
