Overview

Abraham stands as a monumental patriarch across the world's three major monotheistic religions; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all trace their spiritual lineage to this singular man. His life, as primarily documented in the book of Genesis, beginning in chapter 11 and extending through chapter 25, presents a compelling narrative of faith, obedience, and divine promise. This book aims to explore the multifaceted history of Abraham, separating historical analysis from theological interpretation where possible, but always including the profound Biblical connections that define his enduring legacy. The accounts of Abraham are more than mere historical records; they are foundational stories that shape the identity and aspirations of billions of people across millennia. The scope of his influence, from the ancient Near East to contemporary global faith communities, is unparalleled. We will delve into both well-known narratives, such as the covenant with God and the journey to Canaan, and more obscure facts, like the potential polytheistic cultural context of his early life in Ur.
