We look at the story of Abraham, who is said to have lived around 1800 BCE.

 

He is considered by Jews, Christians and Muslims to be the first Patriarch of Judaism, Christianity and Islam; hence these Faiths are often referred to as the ‘Abrahamic Faiths’.

​

Whether or not Abraham really did exist, his legacy through literature and painting has survived down the centuries.

 

This talk illustrates some of the greatest works of art depicting the life of Abraham.
