Protestantism has changed many aspects of traditional Christianity, so we have to ask what is the attitude of Protestant leaders to the issue of women, and on the other hand, have women been able to use the potentials of this sect in intellectual, political, social and religious developments? The findings of this paper are that reforming the attitude towards women in Protestantism was not the main priority of Protestant reformers and the patriarchal view of the Middle Ages dominated their attitude. Protestantism had a positive and indirect effect on the subject, and women were actively involved in the events.

The Protestant Reformation was a great movement that had a great impact on all theoretical and practical spheres of the West. Similarly, some thinkers of the Islamic world, considering the many problems of the Islamic world, considered the solution as a reformation and reform of the type of Protestant reform and so, they have a sympathetic look and sometimes a fascination with it, but by examining more precisely this great transformation in the Christian world, in fact, we find it is a kind of simple thinking and superficiality on this subject The reason for this is that the Protestant reformation is not so progressive and free of some charges, as it were, and secondly, it cannot apply equally to the Islamic world, partly because of the difference in the theological foundations of Islam. At the end of the article, a critique of the negative approach to religious reform introduced as a cause for religious tyranny has been presented

The present study investigates the fact that Max Weber’s interpretation of Islam has a very weak relationship with his special pronouncement on Protestantism. Accordingly, the scientific question of the present study is as follows: “How much is the economic ethics in Protestantism (in the framework of Max Weber’s theory of Protestant ethics) comparable to the Shiite economic ethics?” Thus, the research method was of comparison type seeking to find the similarities and differences of those religions regarding economic ethics. Accordingly, seven parameters of Weber’s idea of Protestant ethics were extracted and used as the basis for comparison of economic ethics. The findings of this study show that economic ethics in Protestantism and Shiism are not comparable on the basis of Max Weber’s theory.

Today, Protestantism has greatly extended in the world of Christianity. What has made this movement have a distinct position in Christianity is the emphasis of the leaders of this movement on the necessity of reforming the Catholic Church and the need for abiding by the Bible as the sole source of authority. Contrary to the wishes of the leading figures of this movement, the reforms have finally led to its separation from the Roman Church. Emphasizing on the importance of people's understanding of the Bible, Protestantism rejects the role of clerics clergies and church authorities, and feels that it has a legal duty to participate freely and actively in every field and act in good Faith under the guidance of Jesus Christ. This approach has made the Protestants and other Christian groups face significant challenges. Referring to the historical sources of the religious reform movement and the sects belonging to it, this paper seeks to review and comment on the reform policy and points out to the problems which it brings. It shows how adopting such an approach has seriously challenged the Protestants and prepared the ground for dividing them. This study provides reformists with a practical example and illustrates the serious menace of implementing reforms in religion.

One of the areas of interdisciplinary research on culture is the study of the relationship between religion and art. Among the religious movements, "Protestantism" has assumed especial importance due to its relation with the" religious reform movement". In this cultural context, "expressionism" represents one of the most important stages of the evolution of forms of art. Using a library-based method, this paper seeks to investigate the common aspects and relations between these two movements. The theoretical foundations were compared in the form of a case study with the movie “Dr. Calgary’s Work Room" (1920). The research results show that expressionism and Protestantism have common aspects in one general aspect and in three particular aspects. Thus, it is possible to give religious interpretations works of art. The interaction among religion, culture and art on the basis of an existential understanding of religion is the common aspect in this relationship. Moreover, the historical-cultural commonalities, an expressive element and a dark tension-making content in Expressionism the similar of which is found in Protestant theology, indicate the remarkable aspects of this relationship.

The Protestant ethic and Spirit of Capitalism is one of the most important works in the field of comparative studies and sociology of religion that it is still new and a matter of interest for dialogue particularly in undeveloped countries. Weber’s ideaslike Marx’s and others, as one may know, were misunderstood and misconstrued by some in Iran. This article is thus concerned to give a new understanding and exact description of Weber’s theory in the above-mentioned work. Avoiding any judgment orcriticism this article suffices to make an attempt in doing justice to his theory.
