Description: Jews, Christians and Muslims describe elements of their origins with close reference to the narrative of Abraham, including the complex story of Abraham's relations with Hagar. This volume sketches the significance of this narrative in the three traditions.
Review Quotes: "this is an excellent volume, exploring a mulitude of different facets of the Abraham narrative [...]. All of the chapters are of a high standard and much of the exegetical work is excellent. The chapters by the three editors, in particular, are exceptional. For a single volume on the Abraham narratives, the Hagarites, and the nations, this work deserves to stand as the definitive work on the topic currently available.'
