Western Religions

Western religions primarily refer to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which share a common heritage rooted in the ancient Near East. These faiths are monotheistic, believing in one God, and emphasize a covenant or relationship between God and humanity. They have sacred texts—such as the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Quran—that guide moral and spiritual practices. Each religion has distinct beliefs, rituals, and traditions but also shares many values, like compassion and justice. Studying these religions together reveals both their unique qualities and their interconnections, highlighting how they have influenced Western culture and society.
