Abraham and the Birth of Monotheism – (c. 2000–1800 BCE) (jan 1, 2000 BC – jan 1, 1800 BC)

Description:

Abraham is traditionally viewed as the founding figure of monotheism. Living in Mesopotamia, he entered into a covenant with a single, all-powerful God, rejecting the polytheism of his time. This covenant promised land and descendants in exchange for faith and obedience, laying the spiritual foundation for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Abraham’s legacy shaped the identity of the Israelites and became a central figure in the theological frameworks of all three Abrahamic religions.
