Scholar Richard C. Folz probes beneath the surface of world history, uncovering a wealth of Iranisn influences and ideas, from the sacred formulas of the earliest Aryan settlers to the inspired architectural designs emerging from Iran's holiest sites. His survey encompasses the full sweep of Persian history, right up to the modern era, and provides a rounded insight into not only Iranisn identity, but also the way in which religious traditions are shaped and formed. Accompanied by a detailed bibliography, glossary, and chronology, this volume will prove indispensible to students and scholars of the middle East, in addition to being a long overdue tribute to Iran's rich spiritual heritage and diverse future possibilities.
