ajiss-1458	Stewart, Devin J.	The Heirs of the Prophet: Charisma and Religious Authority in Shi`ite Islam by Liyakat N. Takim (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2006. 215 pages.)	2008.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1122	33	32	The Heirs of the Prophet begs the question of how the disciples’ author- ity is related to Shiite religious authority during the Lesser Occultation and afterward. This substantially revised version of a dissertation completed at the School of Oriental and African Studies in 1990 focuses on the disciples (rijal) of the Imams in the Twelver Shiite tradition, arguing that they developed, through the routinization of charisma, a distinct type of religious authority in the eighth and ninth centuries based on their special relationship with the Imams, but to some extent independent of them.	cache/ajiss-1458.pdf	txt/ajiss-1458.txt
