At least three religions regard Abraham as their forefather. Which is interesting, because most historians say that Abraham never really lived. His story is mythological.
- Answer 2
Abraham was a historical person, as recorded in the Book of Genesis (ch.11-25); and his gravesite is known to this day, in the Machpelah at Hebron, Israel. He is revered by billions of people. The Jews have attested to his existence for 3800 years, and his name is mentioned by several ancient non-Jewish historians as far back as 2,300 years ago. These include Berosus, Alexander Polyhistor, Melo, Eupolemus, Artapanus, Hecateus, and Nicolaus Damascenus.

∙ 6y agoNo. Abraham was the founder and father of Judaism only. Thousands of years later, Christianity and Islam arose, based heavily upon Judaism. Abraham is connected to them only indirectly.
