Contributions of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism will be explored.
Are religions and spiritual convictions still considered an empowering factor able to inspire positive changes in the lives of individuals and societies? What do individuals and societies expect from them today?
What is the social vision and the “added value” religions and spiritual convictions can offer?
