Sažetak
The author presents the part and respect for Abraham according to the Jewish Rabbinic exegesis. Rabi texts about Abraham had such a high opinion of him that the even believe that Abraham (and of course Isaac and Jacob) existed before the creation of the world and that God infact created the world because of him. There are so many exhaustive legends about Abraham's birth and his youth. They often stress some apocryphs such as Abraham's revelation, Abraham's testament and others. In Hagaad literature (Midrash and in particular Bereshith Rabba) in which rabbis interpret the Book of Genesis where Abraham is presented as the ancestor of all monotheists. In his youth, he searched for God. That is why God made the Covenant with him and promised him numerous descendants and the land. He was one of the great prophets with whom God spoke, not in his dreams or visions, but face to face while Abraham was completely conscious.
The author takes the main Biblical scenes from Abraham's cycle (Gen 12:24; being chosen, the Covenant, Sodom and Gomorra and sacrificing Isaac) and interprets them using Jewish Midrash and Talmudic tradition and selected Jewish commentary. More time is spent on interpreting Jewish understanding of Abraham's sacrificing Isaac.
