This was a very informative narrative of information about three faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam and how they all claim their roots in Abraham. The author discusses how and why each faith altered the story of Abraham to meet the needs of their faith. The author narrates the story in an interesting manner and the history and information is peppered with captivating stories of the author's journey to find the information. I found the message of Abraham to be personally informative on my own spiritual path thanks to this set of tapes.
The book covers the various aspects of Abraham, the father of the three major single diety religions in the world, Jews, Christians and Muslims. Abraham is considered by many to be the father of all three. He came from nowhere, was sent elsewhere to create nations everywhere and all of this in old age.

I so enjoyed reading Bruce Feiler's Walking The Bible and Where God Was Born that I wanted to read other Biblical history books by this same author. I enjoyed Abraham but found it to be much more theological than the other 2 books which dealt mainly with the physical historics of the geography and rulers of the area, both past and present. I loved studying the contrasting beliefs and respect bestowed upon Abraham by the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths. I am glad that I read Abraham after reading the other 2 books first.
a good book on an important idea
