...for the followers of the Jewish faith and Christian faith. I mean does he exist in the histories of these religions? Does anyone know his stories. I already know the islamic point of view, but I am looking for similarities with the other 2 religions.

Many good answers but no-one seems to be giving a Jewish point of view? Also I would love to read the Bible but I can't be sure of which parts are true and which parts have been edited. Keep them coming.

Sorry, I'm not a Jew, but of course you will find Abraham in the Old Testament. You can read all of the Bible (Old and New Testament), make sure your translation is based on the original manuscriptes called the "textus receptus", the received text, which is inspired by the Holy Spirit of God. The best Bible to read in English is the King James Version. Avoid Bible translations that are based on "textus vaticanus" and "textus sinaiticus" as these are corrupted manmade texts.

Abraham showed Faith to God by accepting to sacrifice his only son, by his seed came Isaac, Jacob and later Jesus Christ. The islamic point of view is not your best approach to learn about him because muhammed changed it to suit his religion...the Jewish point of view is the same as in the bible.
Lastly there is no edited versions of the bible but rather discarded books that didn't hold any revelations from God , or nothing that would edify the readers. The bible is true, when you read it , ask God to reveal its meaning and He will !

According to the theologian Swedenborg, Abraham was the first literal person in the Bible. Chapter 11 of Genesis is the first chapter actually written by Moses.
The first two stories about Adam and Eve and Noah are about the Most Ancient Church and the Ancient Church that came before Abraham's time.

Gen.15:13,16
Abraham Gen.12:4 Promised Land Covenant for 4th generation 400 years after heir is of age..
Isaac is heir at age 60 has Jacob the heir Gen.25:26. Dies 632 years after the flood Gen.35:28,29
Jacob and the twelve tribes of Israel are 70 members in Egypt Gen.47:9.11.28; 642 years after the flood and 215 years after Abraham gets the covenant.
Exo.6:16-23,26;
Levi, Kohath, Amram, Aaron and Moses 4th gen Exo.7:7; 12:40,41; Gal.3:16-18 at 340
years after Promised Land Covenant Num.33:38,39 Aaron dies in 40th year. Deut.34:7; Moses dies in 40th year about 7 Months after Aaron. Joshua 5:6,10,14 the 40 years ends with heirs over Jordan, 470 years after the Promised Land covenant.
There was no religion for Abraham Heb.11:1-40; 12:1,2 tells all you need to know.
Adam to #10 son Noah, to #20 son Abraham in genealogy of Jesus Matt.1:1-17; Jesus is #62 in Roman Empire #6 [ Egypt exist Gen12:10; 13:1 ];
Abraham resides in Hebron, thus Hebrew. Jacob is named Israel thus Israelites. Gen.32:29; Judah was in Jerusalem thus Judaism and Jews.
Old Testament 1513 to 443 Before Christ. In good shape to have been there.
New Testament 50 to about 100 after Christ, I will no ever complain, no negative here.

He sent away his "wild donkey of a son" into the Paran wilderness, which is located in the northeast part of the Saini Penninsula, NOT Saudi Arabia.
Also, he went to Mount Moriah to sacrifice his son Isaac. He did NOT travel to Mecca to sacrifice Ishmael for God. This proves Mohammad changed things Bible to invent his OWN religion. No wonder the Jews rejected his claim to he a prophet.
There his Egyptian mother found him an Egyptian wife. That means Ishmael's offspring have at most 1/4 of Abraham's blood. Mix that blood with generations and generations of non Israelites, and the amount of Abraham's DNA would be virtually undetectable. So much for Mohammad's claim to Abraham's son's birthright!

Abram was chosen by God to take his wife seria and head for the promist land he was told he would be the father of Many nations a blessing to all nations. but when sera did not have any children he did not trust God and slept with hagger. who bore ishmail eventualy when serah was very old ( God changed thier names to serah and abraham) she had a sun isaac but haggers son teased him and God told abraham to send hagger and ishmail away ishmail was over 15 when isaac was born. the bible has a much fuller story of abrahams live than the quran you will find it is genesis I will get a referance
1. Genesis 17:5 Abram means exalted father .
2. Genesis 17:5 Abraham means father of many .
there are over 300 referances to abraham but this is the first
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty ; walk before me and be blameless. 2 I will confirm my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers."

Abraham was married to Sarah, and was childless,
Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham, and Hagar got preggers. Sarah got jealous and would beat Hagar (with Abraham's full consent) so Hagar took off. Hagar was saved but told by God to return. She was also told of who her son would be (wild donkey, in opposition of everyone) She gave God a name, "God who sees me"
Hagar returned. She gave birth to Ishmael.
Again, God promised Abraham a child from Sarah that would hold his covenant.
Sarah, long past childbearing, was finally given the baby that God promised them. He was born, and named Isaac. According to scripture, when Isaac was weaned (traditionally around 3yrs old) his brother, Ishmael, was being an older brother and smirking at the kid, so Sarah sent Hagar and Ishmael away.
Later, God tested Abraham, He sent Abraham out to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Abraham took Isaac out, he laid him on the alter, and raised his hand to kill Isaac, and at that time, God provided the lamb.
It's in Genesis.

Abraham was the father of Issac, and Issac was the father of Jacob, also known as Israel. Both christians and jews consider abraham as their ancestor and father of their faith.
