The history of Israel is connected with Abraham, who is depicted in the Bible not only in the genealogical sense – as the protoplast of the Israeli nation but also in the religious sense – as “the father of faith” for he is the pillar of both Jewish and Christian faith. Those who believe in one God, touch the person of Abraham, constantly refer to his experience of faith and reflect upon it themselves. The author of this paper focuses on the analysis of the problems contained in the following statement “Abraham – the father of faith in biblical tradition” The paper consists of three parts. In the first part, the author presents Abraham as a historic figure, based on biblical and extra-biblical sources. The second part is devoted to the analysis of biblical sources that present Abraham as the father of “believers”. In the third part of the paper, the author discusses New Testament sources relating to the kerygma of Abraham, based on the Letter to the Romans, Letter to the Galatians, and Letter to the Hebrews.
