The Sufi Saint of Jam

The Sufi Saint of Jam: History, Religion, and Politics of a Sunni Shrine in Shii Iran Spanning 900 years of history, this book explores the genesis, florescence, degeneration, and regeneration of the saint cult and shrine-complex of Shaykh al-Islam Ahmad-i Jam. Cult and shrine fell into decline under Irans first Shii shahs, but are enjoying a renaissance under the Ayatollahs despite being an adamantly Sunni institution.
