#Abrahamic Traditions

The Abrahamic traditions — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam — stand among the most influential cultural and religious forces in human history. Rooted in a shared origin story centered on the figure of Abraham, these traditions have evolved along distinct paths while remaining historically and theologically intertwined. Their influence on the development of Western culture is profound: they have shaped moral worldviews, institutional structures, symbolic vocabularies, and everyday habits that continue to define societies today.
Rather than treating them in isolation, it is essential to consider their shared legacy and mutual entanglements. In the cultural region I live in, their imprint is visible not only in religious life but in law, politics, education, and artistic expression. Investigating their origins, transformations, and ongoing roles in modern societies requires a historical and cultural lens — one that incorporates recent academic research while also acknowledging how deeply these traditions remain embedded in the way Europe thinks, lives, and remembers.
