      abstract = {This book argues that Political Islam in the Iranian  context evolved into three main schools of thought during  the 1960s and 1970s: Jurisprudential Islam led by Ayatollah  Khomeini, Leftist Islam led by Shariati, and Liberal Islam  led by Bazargan. Despite the fact that all schools seek an  Islamic state, their chosen methods and philosophical  approaches diverge considerably. The synthesis of these  three contrasting socio-political views is structured here  to provide a coherent interpretation by means of ongoing  comparison. This method has so far not been presented in  academic studies within the field of Political Islam.  Furthermore, this book provides a critical analysis of the  aforementioned 'Political Islam schools in Iran, their  similarities and differences, relative success or failure,  their contribution to the revolution of 1979 and how they  have evolved from the pre-revolution era to the present.
