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.

Great Voice of Wisdom

Lennox is a knowledgeably wise biblical scholar. Though he is considered more Mathematician, his love for God’s Word and his scholarly care to detail brings the story of Abraham to life in a new and inviting way.

A beautiful way to experience Abraham all over again!

John Lennox does a great job thinking through the narrative story of Abraham and God’s plan for him and the world. If you are a fan of Lennox’s work and the Word of God, this will not disappoint. Also, it is great that it is his voice you hear narrating.

What an epic account of Abraham

As a husband, father and Christian I really enjoyed this book. The flawed people the creator uses and struggles to trust in the author of life and his plans for them.

Excellent Links with New Testament

The whole story is engaging and wonderful, as with the rest Lennox’s writing. But, what really helped me most, was his clear explanation of Abraham in the New Testament, especially the doctrine of justification by faith.

John Lennox speaks the Truth

John Lennox speaks absolute Truth. In a world that can’t figure out what truth really is, he lays out in Friend of God the difficult path that we follow to know the God we worship. Using the story of Abraham we follow the mistakes and miscalculations but eventual glory of the Promise of God to him. Incredible story
