This study invites the reader to encounter Abraham not as a distant patriarch, but as a living hinge in sacred history—where inherited covenant memory becomes covenant promise. Anchored in the Great Count AM Chronology, it traces faith unfolding in real time through calling, testing, and fulfillment, revealing God’s redemptive purpose advancing not through myth, but through remembered history and measured promise.
