Critics on the Methodology of the Shi,ite Thought History in the Book: School in the Process of Development

The research outcomes of such book "the crisis and consolidation in the farmative period of shiite Islam" which has been published regarding the history of Shia created confusions in some Shia Imami beliefs. The authors of this article tried to evaluate the methodology used in the book by the author.
In this paper, the reserch presented by Mr. Modarressi regarding his resourses and the interpretation of the history of thinking in Shia were found to be incorrect and we attempted to analyze and criticize his research methods with a conventional method in knowledges related to shiet history.
The Modarressi's method in his book resulted in some conclusions leading to: non-systematic references, being wrong in words applications, dealing with selective resources based on guesswork, using invalid criteria and neglecting the component of reservation (dissimulation) in Hadith.
the author of the present research concludes Mr. Modarressi with such impediments in his method of referencing and interpretation of resources would have not been able to offer the model and puzzle certainty history of Shiism in the field of Imamat, and the results of his research dose not seem to be precise.
