Religious communities are what they are based on the quality or lack of quality of their transmissions. The deep crisis experienced by the constituted religions is only one of the most negative consequences of their inability to establish polyphonic currents of communication and empathy among their believers and, ultimately, among human beings with spiritual concerns. Any healthy and humanizing future of religion, family, culture and political forms will depend directly on the health of the human word and its timely communicative contextualization in each here and now. Lluís Duch exposes with rigor and clarity the growing importance that the media acquire today as a new host structure, to the detriment of the three classic reception structures (co-descendence, co-residence and cotrascendence). It also explores the concept of tradition, the importance of the symbol, the difference between information and communication, the crisis of trust in religious institutions, the acceleration of the vital tempo, the erosion of the sacred and the revolution of the credible.
