Part I. The spiritual background to the Imamate Shi'a -- Ithna A'shariyyah and the first half of the 20th century: 1. The story of the Shi'a -- 2. The revival of the Shi'a after the Qajars -- Part II. The Baha'i faith and the emergence of the Hojjatiyeh: 3. The Baha'i faith and its origins in Shi'a Islam and despair -- 4. The Hojjatiyeh Society -- Part III. Post-revolution era and the Hojjatiyeh as counter-revolutionaries movement: 5. Danger ahead -- challenging Khomeini -- 6. The evolution of extremism.

The Hojjatiyeh Society is one of the most fascinating religious groups in modern Iran. The society started its way in the 1950s as an anti-Baha'i movement but found itself fighting Khomeini's Velayat-i Faqih and leading an anti-Khomeini and messianic agenda. Despite the Hojjatiyeh's fight against Khomeini, the Hojjatiyeh became, unwillingly and unintentionally, a leading faction in the Islamic Revolution, with its members coming to occupy some of the highest echelon posts in Iranian politics. The Hojjatiyeh was dismissed in 1983 by Khomeini, but it seems it never truly left the political sphere until today, when its traces can still be found on Iranian politics. Even Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his mentor the Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi are reported to be Hojjatiyeh members.
