• W50461593 abstract "Catholics and Shi'i Muslims: Prayer, Passion and Politics, by James A. Bill and John Alden Williams. Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 2002. xi + 146 pages. Notes to p. 166. Gloss. to p. 169. Bibl. to p. 177. Index to p. 184. $24.95. authors undertook to write this book after Iran's President Mohammad Khatami visited Pope in March 1999. As Bill and Williams point out in Introduction, September 11 made such a book even more necessary in that it is in everyone's interest to develop a greater understanding of (p. x).

Chapter 5, Mystics and Islamic Sufis: Confluence of Experience, gives a panorama of mystic practices and developments in Islam generally rather than concentrating on specific Shii aspects. Chapter 6, Law and State, gives an introduction to Islamic law (shari'a). quietist attitude of Shi'is is also underlined (pp. 109-110). Chapter 7, Authority, justice and modern polity, compares religiously based liberation movements, like Catholic liberation theology and movement that finally led to Islamic revolution in Iran and points out central function of clergy over distribution of money collected through almsgiving in both religions (p. …" @default.
