A textbook has a central role in the education system, and it is one of the most important tools for learning in all levels of education. One of the important ways to improve textbook is to critique and evaluate them. “Sociology of Gender with an Islamic Approach”, written by Hossein Bostan, has been prepared for master’s degree and PhD students in women’s studies and sociology in university and seminary. The author’s scientific rank, the novelty of book’s subject and its educational approach make it worthy of criticism. This descriptive-analytical article seeks to answer the question of what the advantages and disadvantages of this book as a textbook are. Research findings indicate that this book, despite having significant advantages like scientific strength, innovation, content validity and fluent writing, suffers from serious problems in methodology, content, structure and organization of courses, and it is far from good standard.
