Anglicans, Iran, revolution, Hassan Dehqani-Tafti, the book The Hard AwakeningAbstract
The article presenting the situation of the Anglican community in Iran during the Iranian revolution, problems and persecutions the Iranian Anglican faced at that time is focused particularly on a book written by the Anglican bishop Hassan Dehqani-Tafti (1920–2008). The book entitled The Hard Awakening was published in London in 1981 by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, however before its publication the book arose discussions among the workers of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The article attempts to describe and analyze the circumstances in which the book was written and published in a context of hard British-Iranian relations connected to the imprisonment of British citizens in Iran in 1980, underling the importance of the book as a personal story of the revolution seen and experienced by an Iranian, Christian, Anglican.
