Mottahedeh set out to answer this question. Drawing on more than two millennia of Iranian history, fourteen centuries of Shi'i scholarship, and the intellectual challenges of modernity, he traced the deep currents that gave the revolution its force. From lectures on Aristotle in Qom's seminaries to SAVAK's prisons and the bustle of the bazaars, Mottahedeh illuminates how the revolution was shaped by Iranian society and how it reshaped the nation in turn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Mantle of the Prophet\u003c\/i\u003e offers a rare account of the revolution and its aftermath as they were lived and endured. As the future of the Islamic Republic once again hangs in the balance, Mottahedeh's classic study has lost none of its relevance. It remains a powerful testament to a society marked by sacrifice, conviction and an unfinished struggle for freedom.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoy P.
