Abraham of Ur Book PDF Summary

Did Abraham bring Genesis-like stories to Canaan that Moses uses in the Torah? Did Abraham Avenge the killing of Lots father Haren? Genesis tells us “Terah became the father of Abram, in Ur of the Chaldeans”; while history shows Abraham was born in 2000 BC into the world’s most advanced civilization, the 3rd Dynasty of Ur. When God tells Abraham “go forth to a land that I will show you” he was probably going to go there anyway as part of a mass migration of Semites into the Levant that will take them one day to Egypt as part of the Hyksos invasion. It is probable that Abraham brought many ancient stories of Sumer and Akkad that influenced stories in Genesis. And, if we are to believe Josephus, Abraham was an astronomer and a warrior, hardly the nomadic sheepherder we see pictured in religious art. David Snyder is a new author taking a new approach to the study of Abraham. By researching the time and place that Abraham lived he found an incredible amount of extant documents available to give a realistic view of the geopolitical world that motivated Abraham’s family and influenced the growth of monotheism. Along the way, he discovered and enhanced his own understanding of Christianity.
