Media interaction and protestantism 1950-2012

The oldest and most enduring social institutions of mankind is the institution of religion. Not only religion respond to the fundamental questions of humanity about the cause of the creation of the world, but also arrange the social order; in addition to the meaning of the purpose of human life. Following the advent of the Jewish religion, followed by Christianity, from the sixteenth century, a branch of the religion of Jesus Christ, known as Protestantism, with a particular Jewish tendency, came to an end. Among the beliefs of this religious movement, labor and hard work have been valued as worship. Over the centuries, this branch of Christianity, dominated by economic resources, as well as by the mass media, is the creator of the realization of the idea of Armageddon; that is, the battle leading to the advent of Christ and the end of the apocalypse! The Book “Media Interaction and Protestantism 1950- 2012” attempts to explain this religious phenomenon and its way of life from the beginning of the history of the emergence of Christianity, its split from the body of Catholic religion, and its social and political consequences; especially as the hostile endeavors in the context of media communication and Religious propaganda. Base of the critique of this book, beyond the historical analysis and critique, is the review of three synthetic terms, including religious propaganda, religious media and media-like religion, . Although the author has tried to use the authoritative sources to explain this historical process and has referred to them reluctantly, but the credit of the book as a source of research on Protestantism has diminished because of some controversy in the process of discussion, the turmoil and shortcomings in the method of referral and source-writing.
