Abrahamic
Sharing one patriarch
Abrahamic describes the family of religions tracing their spiritual lineage to the biblical patriarch Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
These three faiths share monotheism, reverence for prophets, and overlapping scriptures.
Abrahamic traditions all emphasize the covenant between God and humanity.
The term appears frequently in religious studies and interfaith contexts.
