Abraham
Abraham is a groundbreaking examination of Abraham, one of the most beloved and significant religious figures in history. Author Frances Worthington researches the three wives/concubines (Sarah, Hagar, and Keturah) of Abraham, and traces their lineage to five different religions - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, the Bábí Faith, and the Bahá'í Faith. Examining the scripture and traditions of these five "Abrahamic" faiths, this complex story also draws heavily from a rich variety of historical sources that provide a fascinating backdrop.

It also provides great insight into the lives of the founders of the five Abrahamic Faiths - Moses, Jesus, Mohammad, the Báb, and Bahá'u'lláh - and illustrates how their lives mirror that of Abraham. The final chapters consider genetics, the spread of common DNA through diverse populations worldwide, and...Show More
