The present article attempts to examine the course of the revolutionary-reform movements and the resistance movement in the history of Islam and Christianity, and to explain the areas of extremism and terrorism in Islam and Christian theology. Revolutionary movements and the subject of resistance, in the mentioned religions, are considered to be very important. The contexts of extremism and terrorism in Islamic religious texts and Christian theology are also important topics of interest to researchers and scholars of this field. Current research, while examining the revolutionary movement in Islam and Christianity, tries to show a reading of the foundations of extremism and terrorism in the history of Islam and Christian theology. This descriptive-analytic study seeks to answer the fundamental question: what was the nature of the revolutionary movements in the history of Islam and Christianity? And what has been the process of extremism and terrorism in Islam and Christian theology? The author believes that these two are not fundamentally different in their religious foundations and theological functions; i.e. divine religions are in nature, revolutionary and libertarian, and are anti-terrorism; since both religions have experienced discourses in the history of Islam and Christianity, and also resistance movements. The ideas of both religions are also opposed to extremism, and terrorism stems from political issues and has no religious or intellectual roots.
