How did Abraham's religious beliefs differ from the beliefs of others?

Answer 1

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.
