Radiye literature in Qajar dynasty (before the constitutionalism period)

Radiye literature is a text which its aim is to verify its claim in a way to contradict its opponents’ claim. Christian missionaries find an opportunity to proselytize Christianity during the Safaviye dynasty. Because of the ignorance of Safaviye’s kings about the real purpose of these missionaries challenging Islamic believes, they support this current of thought. As a matter of fact, the volume of Radiye literature increased during the Gajar dynasty as at this period of time, the missionaries through the communication with others spread their missionary activities; consequently Shiah ‘s intellectuals and theologians wrote radiye texts in order to challenge this current of thought.  It is common that dogmatic theologians and believers in each religion and cast who are very enthusiastic about their believes will challenge opponent’s claim and defend their believes. Thus, shiah’ theologians also distinctly followed this manner and wrote many radiye texts. In fact, when they feel that their ideology and Islamic believes are in danger, they never hesitate to defend and try to have answer for these challenges. It should be noted that most of these literatures are about Christianity. Jewish regarding to the historical evidence and also because of their belief which claim that they are the chosen people never have evangelical activities; thus rarely create radiye literatures. Even though those who are converted from Jewish to Islam are exception and create very radical radiye literature.
