Abraham of Ur A Critical Analyis of the Life and Times of the Patriarch
A Challenge to Our Faith
The primary focus of this work is history, not theology. If, like me, the reader becomes more aware of the highly advanced and exciting time in human history that Abraham lived, then I will have accomplished the purpose of the book. This being said, the reader may be surprised and at first even threatened by some of the similarities of stories that we will study of ancient Sumer and Akkad with those found in the first five books of the Bible. Our first thought may be that perhaps the Hebrew Scriptures are not the word of God but plagiarized from men in a pagan society. But, as we develop the story of man's search for God, we will find that the ancient concept of deity was man's first attempt at trying to understand the mystical world around him and was but a stepping stone to the final concept of God that all monotheistic religions now share. By exploring these similarities, we do not want to tarnish the lessons the Holy Spirit has revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures, but rather to augment their historicity and give greater credence to some of the stories.
Most references in this study will be referred to as the Hebrew Scriptures rather than the Old Testament. This descrip

He was born in Moudon (canton of Vaud) and not in Yverdon, as often repeated in error in several sources from the earliest days on,[4] an error, no doubt, attributable to the fact that Du Cros, who grew up in Yverdon as a boy,[5] thus considering himself to be "from Yverdon", attached "d'Yverdun" as a kind of epitheton ornans to his name,[6] as did his friends, and biographers... He was educated at the college of Lausanne, where his parents destined him to go into commerce, to no avail. Du Cros preferred to go to Geneva in 1769, to study for 2 years in a private academy under Chevalier Nicolas-Henri-Joseph de Fassin, a painter from
