A journey through one of the world's most divided cities – Hebron, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank of Palestine, exploring the influence of the history, religion and myth on the country's tumultuous present. It begins with a hill called Tel Rumeida, the site of ancient Hebron, where the patriarch Abraham – father of the Jews and the Arabs – was supposed to have lived when he arrived in the Promised Land. In City of Abraham, Edward Platt meets the Palestinian residents of Tel Rumeida, and the messianic settlers who have made their homes in a block of flats that stands on stilts on an excavated corner of the site. He meets the archaeologists who have attempted to reconstruct the history of the hill. He meets the soldiers who serve in Hebron, and the intermediaries who try to keep the peace in the divided city. Through a mixture of travel writing, reportage and interviews, Platt tells the history of the Tel Rumeida hill and the city in which it stands, and explores the mythic roots of the struggle to control the land – illuminating the lives of the people at the heart of the most intractable conflict in the world.

Did you know that Abraham was born a Chaldean but died a Hebrew? This is a fascinating story of a man who took God at his word, and did everything God asked him to do without hesitation. Ten times God tested him, but he never wavered. That's why God called him righteous and blessed him beyond measure.The Story of Abraham takes us back to the city of Ur of the Chaldees, about 250 years after the flood, before God called Abraham. The southern part of ancient Mesopotamia was called Chaldea, and Ur was the most important city in Chaldea, which was located on the western part of the Euphrates River. The land of Chaldea contained riches beyond imagination, and Ur was the wealthiest city in that part of the world.In this story you will learn why God chose Abraham, how he became the father of all who believe in the Lord God, how he became a Hebrew and why only one of his sons was born according to God's plan of salvation.

The world's three largest faiths all find a common root in one man: Abraham. Breaking new ground, David Rosenberg portrays Abraham as a man whose whole life, and therefore his legacy, is informed by the Sumerian culture that produced him. Abraham is a brilliant literary excavation of the ancient cultures from which our modern world has grown.

In this discursive commentary Joseph Blenkinsopp explores the story of Abraham -- iconic ancestor of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam -- as told in Genesis 11-25. Presented in continuous discussion rather than in verse-by-verse form, Blenkinsopp’s commentary focuses on the literary and theological artistry of the narrative as a whole. Blenkinsopp discussses a range of issues raised in the Abraham saga, including confirmation of God’s promises, Isaac’s sacrifice and the death of Jesus, and Abraham’s other beloved son, Ishmael. Each chapter has a section called “Filling in the Gaps,” which probes some of the vast amount of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic commentary that the basic Genesis text has generated through the ages. In an epilogue Blenkinsopp looks at Abraham in early Christianity and expresses his own views, as a Christian, on Abraham. Readers of Blenkinsopp’s Abraham: The Story of a Life will surely come away with a deeper, richer understanding of this seminal ancient figure.

When we rewind history back to Abraham’s era, we encounter people who concocted false superstitions to explain the unexplainable. Powerful kings claimed to be gods, building massive pyramids to achieve immortality. Out of this mass of misunderstandings, one man emerged. The man we know today as Abraham not only claimed that one true Creator existed but also staked his entire life on this belief. Why, thousands of years later, are we still discussing the faith of this desert nomad? One of America’s most popular Bible teachers Pastor Chuck Swindoll answers that question and many more in this compelling and insightful biography that will inspire your own faith.
