Abstract

The acceleration of time, achieved through technological and scientific progress, is one of the most pervasive, and thus significant, changes that has affected our way of life in the last decades. The future is increasingly short term and the sociological approach, that used to be focused on anticipating events, must now try to keep up the pace of change. This article analyses the vitality of the religions that proclaim themselves to be the heirs of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, because the conduct and approaches of believers affect their daily lives and actions.
