Best Answer

At the time of Abraham the Hebrew, the area where he lived was full of pagan cults; they were polytheistic, worshiping multiple deities and lacking moral character; with their rites accompanied by things such as human sacrifice, "sacred" prostitution, and animal worship. Abraham was the first to advance the idea of ethical monotheism: the worship of One God, and the appropriate ethical code of conduct.Link: How Abraham founded Judaism

Abraham preached against the ubiquitous idolatry of the time (1700s BCE) and was later given the gift of prophecy by God.
