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.19th centuryFilter Results3 entriesPlace of OriginAllPersia (2)United States (1)DenominationsAllChurch of Christ (Temple Lot) (1)Community of Christ (1)Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) (1)The Church of Jesus Christ (Strangite) (1)ScripturesAllBook of Mormon (1)Dala'il-i-Sab'ih (Seven Proofs) (1)Doctrine and Covenants (1)Kitab-i-Aqdas (1)Kitab-i-Iqan (1)Panj Sha'n (Five Grades) (1)Pearl of Great Price (1)The Bayan (1)The Hidden Words (1)Founded ByAllJoseph Smith (1)Conception of the DivineAllMonotheistic: one God (3)Status TodayAllLiving tradition, practised today (3)Establishment StatusAllNo Establishment (1)Closed Practice StatusAllLiving, and practised in varied local forms (1)Giving Obligation EnforceabilityAllCodified Obligation With Consequences (1)Preached Expectation, Not Enforced (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)The body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 3Babism19th centuryBahá’í Faith19th centuryLatter Day Saint Movement19th centurySources1.
