Mudārā dar adyān-i Īrānʹzamīn

This edited volume gathers a series of academic lectures examining religious tolerance across the principal faith traditions of the Iranian plateau. Drawing on contributions from specialists in Islamic jurisprudence, Jewish studies, Zoroastrian theology, and Christian ecclesiastical history, the work traces how mudārā — tolerance and coexistence — has been understood, applied, and contested within each tradition. Chapters address Zoroastrianism's foundational attitudes toward other faiths, the history of Judaism across successive historical periods, the evolving doctrine of toleration within the Catholic Church, and the varied interpretations of tolerance within both Sunnī and Shīʻī Islam. The result is a comparative, inter-confessional dialogue rooted in the historical and cultural context of Īrān, offering an important contribution to the study of religious pluralism, interfaith relations, and the enduring intellectual heritage of the Iranian world.
