Against the background of long-standing narratives in which Twelver Shi‘ism is viewed as fundamentally authoritarian, The School of Hillah and the Formation of Twelver Shi‘i Islamic Tradition builds upon recent scholarship in the fields of Religious Studies, Anthropology, and History to argue that Twelver Shi‘ism is better understood as a discursive tradition. At a conceptual level, this solves the basic problem of how to integrate the extraordinary diversity of Twelver Shi‘ism across time and space into a single historical category without engaging in a normative assessment of its underlying essence. Furthermore, in light of this conception of tradition, the School of Hillah stands out as a seminal period in the archive of Twelver Shi‘ism, though it has seldom been recognized as such in European-language scholarship. Insofar as it gave birth to a conversation that would prove capable of encompassing the dynamism of Twelver Shi‘ism, the School of Hillah should be considered the formative period of Twelver Shi‘i tradition. Moreover, when the tradition is conceptualized in this manner, it is a bulwark against the very authoritarianism by which Twelver Shi‘ism has been characterized for so long.

برخلاف روایت‌های دیرینه‌ای که تشیع اثنی‌عشری را از اساس مستبدانه تلقی می‌کند، کتاب مکتب حله و شکل‌گیری سنت تشیع اثنی‌عشری با بهره‌گیری از تحقیقات اخیر در حوزه‌های مطالعات دینی، انسان‌شناسی، و تاریخ استدلال می‌کند که برای درک بهتر تشیع اثنی‌عشری باید آن را به صورت یک سنت گفتمانی تلقی کرد. این رویکرد در یک سطح مفهومی این مشکل اساسی را حل می‌کند که چگونه تنوع خارق‌العاده تشیع اثنی‌عشری در طول زمان و مکان را بدون اینکه درگیر ارزیابی هنجارین درباره ماهیت بنیادینش بشویم تلفیق کنیم و به صورت یک مقوله تاریخی واحد درآوریم. به علاوه، با عنایت به این تلقی از سنت، «مکتب حله» به عنوان یک وهله مکتب‌آفرین در بایگانی تشیع اثنی‌عشری ظاهر می‌شود، اگرچه در تحقیقات اروپایی به ندرت چنین توجهی به آن شده است. از آنجا که مکتب حله باعث شروع مذاکره‌ای شد که می‌تواند پویایی تشیع اثنی‌عشری را بروز دهد، باید مرحله تکوین‌گر سنت شیعی اثنی‌عشری تلقی شود. به علاوه، وقتی سنت بدین نحو مفهوم‌پردازی می‌شود، سد محکمی در برابر همان استبدادی می‌شود که تاکنون به تشیع اثنی‌عشری منتسب شده است.
