The story of Abraham is found in the book of Genesis. Starts about chap 11 verse 26. When first mentioned his name is Abram but it is later changed to Abraham.

The story of Abraham is also found in a great many, more recent extra-biblical traditions. 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.
