| | Abrahamic religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Christians view Abraham as an important exemplar of faith, and a spiritual ancestor of Jesus, a Jew and the Son of God, through whom God promised to bless all the families of the earth. | | | In the study of comparative religion, an Abrahamic religion is any of those religions deriving from a common ancient Semitic tradition and traced by their adherents to Abraham ("Father/Leader of many" Hebrew אַבְרָהָם Arabic ابراهيم), a patriarch whose life is narrated in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, and as a prophet in the Qur'an. | | | All the Abrahamic religions are derived to some extent from Judaism as practiced in ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah prior to the Babylonian Exile, at the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE. |

| | The universal religions are the more rationalised exponents and often supra-tribal types of religion, but in them also bear elements of âfolk religionâ in their day-to-day applications to human life. | | | The lower echelons of religions are filled with men and women who are either driven into religion by their families or use it as a way to escape from the responsibility to found and support a family. | | | In the Abrahamic religions, all derived from shepherding tribes, there is only one God and no mortal can become a God in contrast to for instance the ancient Greek mythology. |

| | Neither is “Hinduism” a religion in the same sense that Christianity is a religion. | | | However, one goal of both the missionary and the secular administrator was to denigrate native religions and practices – the former to convert to the one true religion and the latter to instill in the natives the aura of Anglican superiority. | | | This means that per the religious doctrine of Abrahamic religions, there is an inherent conflict with any other people who have not converted to their particular conception of God. |

| | The human inclination is to treat religion, including the Abrahamic faiths, as a pattern to be laid on all situations in a one-size-fits all manner. | | | Taken generically, religion refers to the means by which we respond to "the infinite." But religious activity readily becomes its own end, and insofar descends into idolatry. | | | Here, in Part V we look at religion (specifically Abrahamic faiths) in the rise and subsequent modernization of "society." In this context the term "society" is reserved for peoples among whom differentiation, specialization, and reorganization of human activity increasingly limit and supplant familial solidarities. |

| | Furthermore, because Abrahamic religions are self-defined in socio-political terms, Western scholars have used anthropology as a principal means to “study” Indian spirituality, leading to the “caste, cows, and curry” theories of India. | | | Mystics in the Abrahamic faiths were always on the margins of mainstream Christianity. They were persecuted by the religious institutions, and did not become accepted within their own faith communities during their lives. | | | In each given Abrahamic religion, God gives collective bargains to man: Jews as the chosen tribes; Christians as all those who subscribe to the Grand Narrative of God’s Son’s sacrifice for them; Muslims as all who unquestionably believe in and comply with the final and complete words of God sent via his last Prophet (PBUH). |
