        In religious Life guilt is a common emotional experience. This study has been carried out to find out: How the Old and New Testaments speak about guilt? What are the words used by the Old and New Testaments writers in explaining the mental process involved in experiencing guilt? As Guilt was first vividly analyzed in psychoanalytic tradition, this question has also been discussed: Does the Bible’s language and narrative of guilt correspond to Psychoanalytic narrative and terms? In the Old Testament, guilt is dealt with more fully in Psalms. In the New Testament Paul is the Chief figure that describes and explains guilt. The Basic structure of guilt narrative is the same in the Old Testament, New Testament and Psychoanalysis, but throughout history differentiated words and terms have reinforced writer’ explanatory competence and they have reached a more explicit language.

        A Comparative Study of Women's Rights in Divine ReligionsAbstractWomen's rights and their positions in the divine religions, especially in their books, have always been disputed and faced with different comments. A descriptive-analytical study of the contents of divine books shows that, for example, in psalms one can’t find especial regulations in this regard. Although, in the old testament, the creation of woman follows the creation of man, but, in the new testament, this point of view has been turned into a more modified form. Quran, in general, considered the creation of the two coming from a single spirit. Quran and the old testament both assign divorce and polygamy rights to men. While, the rights of social, religious, and political activities for women are in common between Quran and the new testament. Also, the prohibition of having an instrumental look towards women is the most important common point in the three abovementioned divine religious books.Keywords: Bible, Torah, Women's Rights, the Old Testament, the New Testament, Quran.
