Cultural Perspectives: How do societies shape time?

The Religious Dimension: Time in Christianity and Islam

Time is not only a physical or philosophical concept, it's also a spiritual one. This topic explores religious perspectives on time.

These religious teachings provide a deep spiritual context for managing time and encourage you to consider how your own beliefs influence your perception of time and the way you choose to live.

The subjective perception of time: the influence of the mind
