Description
"Father Abraham's" trust (and doubts) in God. He sired the three dominant faiths of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. We know of his sons Isaac and Ishmael, but who was this man when he was just "Abram"? Four thousand years ago there lived a man who, although childless for nearly a century, became the spiritual father to us all. From Abraham arose the three dominant faiths of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. But who was this Abraham? We know how his son Isaac was progenitor of the Hebrew lineage and how Ishmael gave rise to the tribes that became the Arabs, but what came of the six sons he had with the enigmatic Keturah? Did they just disappear like sand in a storm?- or did they spread across all of the earth like "the stars in the heavens" as God had promised Abraham with their own stories and adventure? Join us in this prequel to the rise of Keturah's Children, and experience the life of Abram- full of passion, agony, and wisdom... and very human doubts. Written with the accuracy of a history textbook, this can be used in the college setting in teaching ancient civilization along the "Fertile Crescent" and of actual events from history. The kings are real. The battles between the Elamites and the Sumerians are real. Yet it reads like a mystery that intertwines disparate elements into a sound and fascinating fabric. Included is a glossary that will help elucidate historical issues and remind the reader of who is who in the Bible.
