What each of them holds Abraham to be differs sharply. 2StatusStanding as a Comparative CategoryWell-attestedA standard family grouping. The label marks a shared ancestry, a shared cast of figures and a shared moral vocabulary; it does not mark a shared theology, and the traditions divide over who the final prophet or messiah is. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligions 1Learn MoreThe Abrahamic monotheisms This group gathers the Abrahamic religions, the monotheistic traditions that trace their spiritual descent to the patriarch Abraham and share a common Near Eastern root, a linear view of history, and belief in one transcendent God who reveals a moral law through prophets and scripture. The browser will find Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three great Abrahamic faiths, together with related traditions that share this heritage. The entries describe each religion's scriptures, beliefs and history in its own terms, noting both the deep family resemblance and the real theological differences that divide them.No EstablishmentFilter Results1 entryPlace of OriginAllPersia (1)ScripturesAllKitab-i-Aqdas (1)Kitab-i-Iqan (1)The Hidden Words (1)Origin EraAll1844 (1)Conception of the DivineAllMonotheistic: one God (1)Status TodayAllLiving tradition, practised today (1)Closed Practice StatusAllLiving, and practised in varied local forms (1)Giving Obligation EnforceabilityAllCodified Obligation With Consequences (1)Marriage PositionAllMarriage is held to be monogamous, with remarriage after divorce sanctioned under specified conditions (1)Sexuality PositionAllSame-sex sexual relationships are held contrary to teaching; LGBT individuals are welcomed as members but not ordained, and same-sex unions are not blessed (1)Show ResultsBahá’í FaithNo EstablishmentSources1.
