Examining and criticizing textbooks is of particular importance due to its position in achieving the goals of educational systems and its foundation in improving the quality of edification and educational content. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate these resources using accurate criteria. The current research, based on scientific indicators, has criticized the book "Methods of Teaching Religious Doctrines (Heavenly Gifts), which was published by the Organization for the Study and Compilation of University Books in Islamic and Human Sciences (SAMT) for the field of Educational Sciences in 2013. The selected indicators include content, structural, formal, linguistic and method indicators. The research results show: this book has limited strengths in formal and linguistic indicators. But the very serious weaknesses of the book in all formal, linguistic, content, structural and method indicators are completely obvious. Among others, it is possible to point out the lack of updating of data, scientific problems, incorrect citations, incoherence of content and inapplicability. The lack of these indicators is such that it rejects the "scientific and educational" nature of the book. Therefore, this book lacks the most basic reviews of academic textbooks. It is suggested that a new book be written for this course based on the indicators of academic textbooks and the curriculum of religious education and training of the primary period.
