Abstract:
Anyone interested in the question of contemporary Islamic religious authority in the world today will be familiar with the person of Ayatollah Sistani, the leading Shii religious authority in the world with an extensive network of offices. In this lecture, I shall examine the phenomenon of the modern institution of Shii religious authority considering how Sistani came to hold the pre-eminent position that he does today, and juxtapose his model of authority to previous ones associated with Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran and Ayatollah Baqir al-Sadr in Iraq.
