This collection of case studies, covering the period from classical Islam to the present, and taken from across the Islamic world, allows for women's role to be compared across time and space. This allows for the formation of hypotheses regarding which conditions and developments (theological, jurisprudential, social, economic, political) enhanced or stifled female religious authority in Shi'i Islam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mirjam Kunkler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474426619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMirjam K�nkler\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Research Fellow at Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study.She is co-editor, with Alfred Stepan, of\u003cem\u003e Indonesia, Islam and Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e (2013). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDevin Stewart\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies at Emory University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40953035063411,"sku":"9.78147E+12","price":53.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_02012659-dccb-42a0-ae20-45e211b4df4f.jpg?v=1694523139","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/female-religious-authority-in-shii-islam-a-comparative-history-9781474426619","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
