Abstract
This article examines the evolution of criminal law books in Iran from the inception of modern legislation to the present day. The main issue is how historical and social contexts have influenced the development of legal thought in criminal law books, with the goal of providing an analysis of the progression of these texts. Utilizing discourse analysis and context-oriented hermeneutics, the study focuses on the examination of these books in both pre- and post-revolutionary periods, emphasizing the historical and social contexts. The results of the research indicate that despite differences arising from changing political and social conditions and the preferences of the authors, the overall structure of these books has not undergone a fundamental change and the tradition of their writing has continued to this day.
