About this listen
"My eyes were opened to text after text."
Rico Tice
'Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith. He was even called the friend of God.' (James 2.23)
Abraham is the only character in the Bible to be described as 'the friend of God'. This comprehensive study by John Lennox explores why.
Abraham is unquestionably one of the most outstanding and influential figures in world history. He had no political or military achievements, and he left no literary remains, yet today billions of people—more than half of the world's population—claim him as their spiritual father.
Throughout the Bible, Abraham is seen as a pivotal figure in God's plan of salvation. In this richly detailed account of his life and times, John Lennox helps us to see through mists of the past to the real flesh-and-blood man, with all his strengths and weaknesses, to better appreciate all that Abraham stands for as a model of faith today.

A Thought-Provoking & Deeply Enriching Exploration
John Lennox’s Friend of God: The Inspiration of Abraham in an Age of Doubt is nothing short of a masterpiece. This is far more than just a historical or theological study of Abraham—it’s an invitation to step into the grand narrative of faith that has shaped the spiritual lives of billions.
Lennox brings his trademark clarity and depth to the subject, offering a thoroughly researched and richly detailed examination of Abraham’s life. He skilfully unpacks the historical, cultural, and theological significance of this pivotal figure, showing how his journey of faith continues to resonate today. His insights into biblical texts illuminate familiar passages in fresh and compelling ways, making this an essential listen for those seeking a deeper understanding of God's unfolding plan through history.
The narration is engaging and well-paced, making complex themes accessible without ever feeling oversimplified. Whether you are approaching this book as a believer looking to strengthen your faith or as a sceptic exploring the foundations of biblical history, Friend of God offers wisdom, depth, and a renewed sense of awe.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in biblical history, theology, or the enduring power of faith.

A thorough examination of the life of Abraham
John Lennox puts so much research into the context and background to give a much fuller picture and therefore more nuanced interpretation of the record of Abraham
