Yes, tradition states that Abraham (18th century BCE) founded monotheism.
Abraham (18th century BCE), tenth-generation descendant of Noah, of Hebrew lineage, was the son of Terah, uncle of Lot, father of Isaac, grandfather of Jacob, and forefather of the Israelites. His story is in Genesis ch.11 (end), through ch.25. Jewish tradition states that he was the first to actively spread belief in One God; and it is in his merit that Jews continue to exist (Genesis 18:19, and ch.17).
God chose Abraham to the the father of the Israelite nation. Through Abraham, came his son Issac and then his son Jacob who in turn had twelve sons who formed the twelve tribes of Israel. These twelve tribes and their descendants eventually populated most of the world. A great number of people from all nationalities can trace their family roots all the way back to Abraham.
Abraham in the christian bible is a father. God is refered to as "The Father" so abraham is as much "the father" as your dad is.
Jews believe that Abraham was the 1st one to recognize that there is One God and to have faith in him. from Abraham stemmed the belief in god and the religion of Judaism.

Abraham is called father of their nations.
because he believed in god and did what he asked
God did not call Abraham righteous he called him "Man of Faith" Because he has big amount of faith.
Abraham benefited the hebrews the most, or the Jewish population as we now call them. God said he would bless Abraham's people because of Abraham's great faith.
Abraham was called a man of faith because he obeyed God no matter what he was asked to do he was willing to obey Him.
Abraham
Jews actually normally call themselves Children of Israel, the grandson of Abraham. The reason Jews call themselves this is because Jews believe that their ancestors are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel). Since the Jews are decedents of these patriarchs, the Jews are their children.
Both. He is Hebrew, as a descendant of Eber (Genesis ch.11), father of the Hebrews. More specifically, we speak of Abraham himself as father of the Hebrews, since only the Jews are still identifiable as Hebrews (not Eber's other descendants, such as the children of Joktan).And, though technically the name "Jews" wasn't applied until later, we may call Abraham the first Jew since "anyone who denounces idolatry is a Yehudi" (Talmud, Megillah 13a).

God created all people (Genesis ch.1). What we call Judaism was begun, according to our tradition, by Abraham.

If you mean the Abraham in the bible, you could call him Jewish, as Jesus hadn't been born yet, and he followed the same God Jews and Christians follow today.On the other hand, you could call him a christian, as he believed that someday God would send the Messiah.Hope that helps!
