Can someone tell me about Abraham?

Question

I know he is an important figure in all religions but i dont know much about him. All views are accepted. Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

Abraham is basicly given the credit for founding monotheism, the belief in a one and only non-physical god.

Answer 4

Abraham was formerly known as Abram. Born in Ur of the Chaldees. (decendant of Shem son of Noah) He was married to Sarah (Sarai) a beautiful woman. God made a covenant with Abraham that he would be the father of many nations however he was childless for over 100 years. During that time, he grew impatient with God and took matters into his own hands. At the urging of Sarah, he took her maid Hagar and she bore him a son Ishmael. He was not the child that God had promised however and this created the nation of arabic peoples. Finally, God gave Abraham and Sarah the son they were waiting for, Isaac was the promised child. He became the father of the Jewish or Israelite people. God's promise that he would be the father of nations was fulfilled. Today, they are as numerous as the sand on the seashore. There is much more to the story but you can find it in Genesis 12-25. Hope this helps.

After short stays in Shechem, Bethel, and the Negeb he visited Egypt during a time of famine, and then returned to Hebron. In hope of God's promise of a son, he took as his wife Hagar, and Egyptian maid, who bore him Ishmael (Gen 16). Later his wife Sarah bore Isaac, who became the heir of promise (Gen. 17:1). He died at the age of 175, and was buried in the cave of Machpelah in Hebron (Gen. 25:7-10).
