INTRODUCTION
There is no other religious figure in human history like Abraham, the common spiritual ancestor
to all the Semitic religions. To the Jews, Abraham is the grand patriarch of Israel; to the Christians, he
is the father of their faith; and to the Moslems, he is the father of Ishmael and a prophet of Allah. So,
this book is not just about an ordinary person or a mythical character but about the real flesh and
blood Abraham (Abiamà), who was born by a mother whose name is Emtelai (Emetelayi) and a
father whose name is Terah (Ideara). He was born an Amorite (Ama Ora) among a remnant of Umu-
Ebo (children of Eber), who were banished from their original homeland (described as “Aladinma”
[good land]) because they chose to worship the God of heaven (God of Abraham) over the gods of
their land. Consequently, they fled to a new land in Mesopotamia, which they named “Ur of
Chaldea/Chaldim” (Ora Chialadinma – “the people of God of the good land”) in honor of the God of
heaven. Without the Jews knowing this, it is the same “Chialadinma” that they are honoring today
when they say “Shalom” (Chi ala oma – “God of the good land”) to each other. This is because
“Chaldim” [Ch (God) aldim (good land)] and “Shalom” [Sh (God) alom (good land)] mean exactly
the same thing.
