The Argumentative Interpretation in Imami Theological Discourse: Monotheism and Resurrection as a Case Study

Abstract

The significance of this research lies in highlighting the argumentative activities of Imami theologians in addressing their opponents from the dissenting groups, such as the Khawarij and the people of falsehood who emerged during the Umayyad era, with the conflict continuing to this day. The research problem lies in the following question: How did the argumentative communicative discourse of Imami theologians develop in response to their opponents from deviant sects and the people of falsehood? What were the interpretation strategies employed by Imami theologians in interpreting the fundamental texts of religion? The research was divided into an introduction, a preliminary section, a list of the sources and references, and two main sections, each addressing one of the research models.
