About Abraham in the Bible
Abraham's story appears primarily in Genesis 11-25. The New Testament returns to his life repeatedly, especially in Romans 4, Galatians 3, Hebrews 11, and James 2. Scripture presents him as a covenant patriarch whose faith was counted as righteousness, while also honestly recording his fear, impatience, and need for God's grace.
