A Covenant Sacrifice

The three major monotheistic religions of the world - Christianity, Islam, and Judaism - all trace their lineages back to one father of faith - Abraham. Raised a shepherd in the land of Ur (modern day Iraq), Abraham’s spiritual upbringing likely included the worship of the moon and stars. Then he encountered Yahweh, the all-powerful yet knowable God of all creation, who promised Abraham that his descendants would outnumber the stars.
