Bruce Feiler (Abraham) says that probably less than one per cent of the stories told about Abraham appear in The Bible, with an explosion of detail beginning to appear in Jewish tradition from the third century BCE onwards. In contrast to the midrash, the Bible itself never credits Abraham with monotheistic beliefs. If we rely on the Bible, there is no reason to believe that Abraham believed in only one God.

Was Abraham the father of Christianity?
Historians say that it is quite unlikely that Abraham was a real, historical person. Some who believe that he existed say that he was the first to believe in just one God, although the Bible never actually says that he only worshipped the Hebrew God. Some go further and call him the father of Judaism. But he was not the father of Christianity.
What was Abraham the first to believe in?
Abraham was not the first to believe in the God who would be the God of the Israelites, because Genesis says that he met a priest of this God. Based on this account, there must have already been an entire community that also believed in God. Abraham was not necessarily the first to believe in one God alone, as the Bible never attributes monotheism to him. A well known Jewish midrash has it that Abraham, while still a young boy, realised that his father's idols had no power, and perceived that there is but one God. But midrashim are no more than rabbinical opinions and can not be relied on as evidence of events said to have occurred almost two thousand years earlier.
