Abraham grew up in the great city of Ur in Mesopotamia when it belong to the Chaldeans. There, he was exposed to a culture unlike anything that had ever existed before in human history. In Mesopotamia, there were skilled craftsman of all kinds, people who could read and write, an elite cosmopolitan class, and of course an elaborate religious structure. Of all things Mesopotamian, Abraham just couldn't buy the religious beliefs. Abraham praised a single god who was the most powerful while the other praised idols that were not powerful at all.
One important difference is that Abraham believed in one God, while the people of Mesopotamia believed in multiple gods. Abraham's monotheistic belief was a departure from the polytheistic beliefs commonly held in Mesopotamia. This difference in religious beliefs had significant implications for the development of monotheism in the region.
A:The Bible tells us that God actually spoke to Abraham, as did three other elohim, or gods. Beyond this, it tells us little explicitly about the beliefs of Abraham and certainly not that he worshipped only one god. However, if we look at midrashim of the post-Exilic era and even the Common Era, we find a different story, where Abraham is credited with monotheism. One such midrash tells how, as a young boy, Abraham discivered that his father's idols had no power, leading to him being a monotheist. It is only in these late additions to the Abraham tale that we can identify a definite difference between Abraham's religious beliefs and the beliefs of others in and around Mesopotamia, since the others were all polytheistic.

Ancient Mesopotamia was home to a host of religious beliefs and traditions, as it was inhabited by a number of people--the Assyrians, the Sumerians, and the Babylonians, for example. Characteristic of them all, however, was polytheism.
A:Nowhere does the Bible tell us that Abraham was a monotheist. In the Book of Genesis, he did worship God, but apparently as one of many gods, in which case the faith of Abraham could be considered monolatry. He is described as willing to sacrifice his own son on God's command, but of course this willingness was neither unique nor uncommon in ancient times. However, if we look at midrashim of the post-Exilic era and even the Common Era, we find a different story, where Abraham is credited with monotheism. One such midrash tells how, as a young boy, Abraham discivered that his father's idols had no power, leading to him being a monotheist.
