Abraham, One God, Three Wives, Five Religions
Abraham, One God, Three Wives, Five Religions by Frances Worthington
In this book, the author explores the three wives/concubines (Sarah, Hagar, and Keturah) of Abraham and traces their lineage to five different religions-Christianity, Judaism, Islam, the Babi Faith, and the Baha'i Faith. Examining the scripture and traditions of these five "Abrahamic" faiths, this complex story also draws heavily from a rich variety of historical sources that provide a fascinating backdrop. The narrative follows the life of Abraham from His birth, through His marriage and the birth of His children, to His repeated exiles. It also provides insight into the lives of the founders of the five Abrahamic Faiths - Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, the Bab, and Baha'u'llah - and illustrates how Their lives mirror that of Abraham.
