Roots of Faith

This lesson is the first in a series that reviews the idea of Abrahamic Faith.  What was the faith of Abraham? With the recent release of James Tabor’s, thoroughly revised book, Restoring Abrahamic Faith, I wanted to cover the subject so that people have a clearer idea of where I am coming from in regards to spiritual matters.

In the early 90′s I read a paper by James Tabor entitiled Restoring Abrahamic Faith.  This work and each of its successive versions has challenged me to restore an ancient biblical faith. The clear teachings contained in this work have so inspired me in my personal quest that I want to share them and in so doing, to encourage people to return to the pure faith of Abraham.

In this series I will follow the general outline of the book. I feel that the presentation of the material, as laid out by Dr. Tabor is easy to follow, and when these fundamental and essential teachings are taught in this order, one comes away with a clearer understanding of the Core Teachings of Scripture.

I begin the series with a brief introduction of the man who would become known as the father of all the faithful. “Look to Abraham” the prophet Isaiah would charge all those who pursue righteousness and seek YHVH (Isaiah 51:1-2).

The series begins with the first key concept of this ancient way – Knowing God. Just who is the God of Abraham? The masses are confused over this foundational truth, but the Hebrew Bible clearly identifies this God without the slightest trace of ambiguity.

I carefully cover some of the key passages in the Bible about “knowing” this God. The Bible is clear. YHVH is God and there is no other.
