Abstract
This paper explains that all three Abrahamic religions--Judaism, Christianity and Islam--feature a core belief in only one God and believe that they may experience God firsthand through prayer, meditation and faith. The author points out that only Christianity suggests it is possible for God to take human form, as in Jesus Christ. The paper relates that, within Judaism but less so in Islam and Christianity, God intervenes directly in earthly human affairs such as expelling Adam and Eve, placing a mark on Cain's head and instructing Noah to build an ark before the flood.

From the Paper
"Many sections of the Old Testament reaffirm monotheism. In Exodus 31-33, Moses leaves Mount Sinai with tablets containing the Ten Commandments, to find that in his absence, Aaron has allowed creation of a molten (golden) calf, a pagan idol. In response, Moses smites those who do not worship only God (only the sons of Levi are left), then returns to Mount Sinai to ask God's forgiveness of his people's sins. On Mount Sinai, God forgives all but those who have gone against Him (Exodus 32). Here, the individual worshipper (Moses) asks for personal forgiveness from God, and a chance to atone personally, and on behalf of his people, for past sins, just as Jews still do today once a year on the Day of Atonement."

Abstract
This paper studies and analyzes the Abrahamic religions of Judaism and Islam, stating that women were believed to be inferior to men, had very limited rights, and were expected to be completely subservient. Over the centuries, the rights of Jewish women have been gradually recognized and acknowledged. However, the paper concludes that in most Islamic societies, women are still considered inferior to men and still have very limited rights.

"Studying and analyzing Abrahamic religions such as Judaism and Islam confirms that women were believed to be inferior to men, had very limited rights, and were expected to be completely subservient.

The limited rights of women in Abrahamic faiths is reflected in the Old..."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the role of women, fundamentalism and marriage are challenging issues within the context of Abrahamic religions in modern secular society. The writer maintains that in many ways, the limited role of women and marriage for these age-old religious faiths is being reconstructed within the modern world. The writer discusses that although the rising problem of religious fundamentalism is challenging secular government in recent times, they are normatively small groups that do not hold sway over the majority rule.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the interpretations of God within Christianity, Judaism and Islam. It discusses, through example from religious texts namely the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran, the manifestation of and the belief in monotheism in the respective religions. It also explores the prayer, meditation and rituals of the fore-mentioned religions.

From the Paper
"The Christian New Testament describes the sacred, but not only as belief in one God. Instead, the New Testament describes a belief in the teachings, and the resurrection, of Jesus Christ as the son of God. Christians believe Jesus was the flesh and blood son of God, who came to earth to save humanity. Jews (like Muslims) see Jesus as a prophet but not the son of God. In The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Jesus says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5, p. 1209). The entire text of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, which speaks of brotherhood; community; respect; humility, and forgiveness, in many ways echoes the Ten Commandments and other Old Testament teachings. However, it also contains several key differences. "

"In conclusion, the role of women, fundamentalism, and marriage are challenging issues within the context of Abrahamic religions in modern secular society. In many ways, the limited role of women and marriage for these age-old religious faiths is being reconstructed within the modern world. Although the rising problem of religious fundamentalism is challenging secular government in recent times, they are normatively small groups that do not hold sway over the majority rule. In this manner, the changing role of women, fundamentalism, and marriage are crucially critical issues that need to understood within context of Abrahamic religions in the 21st century."

Abstract
This paper discusses the biblical story of Abraham, its plot, theme, meaning, and contemporary significance. The essay describes the various tests that God put Abraham through by asking him to sacrifice his son.

From the Paper
"In the story of God's test of Abraham in Genesis 22, we learn the "radical nature of true faith: tremendous demands and incredible blessings." God calls Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as a burnt offering. With this command, "one of the most theologically difficult texts of the Old Testament," the stage is set for an act that is central to all of Scripture."

Abstract
This paper notes that the importance of Abraham Lincoln in American history cannot be overstated, and the mythology that has developed around this figure attests to the esteem in which he is held and the sense that he was one of the greatest American presidents.

From the Paper
"As a rule, Presidents achieve their position based on the historical events over which they presided. George Washington holds a special place as the first president, while Jefferson is remembered for writing the Declaration of Independence, among other actions. Woodrow Wilson presided over World War I, and Franklin D. Roosevelt over World War II. Abraham Lincoln presided over the most divisive period in American history and managed to bring the country back together while also working to make the promise of equality more a reality than it had ever been before. Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 in Kentucky, and the family later moved to Indiana."

Abstract
The paper studies how Franklin's "Father Abraham's Speech" is concerned with the ideals of liberalism in the mid-eighteenth century America. The paper discusses that taxation was not as threatening to the individual's liberty as a lack of industry and frugality. The paper explains that by being industrious, any American could acquire wealth, and by being frugal and sensible, he could keep it. By winning and keeping it, he could ensure that he became wealthy and kept his personal freedom too.

From the Paper
"Benjamin Franklin's "Father Abraham's Speech:" Considering the entire essay, including the introductory and concluding paragraphs, the central unifying idea of the piece "Father Abraham's Speech, or, The Way to Wealth" is how to honorably acquire wealth and keep it. According to "Poor Richard", even an ordinary laborer can acquire wealth, if he follows common-sense rules of conduct that have been understood (although not often followed) since ancient times. The enclosing structure of the essay sets the scene. First, Poor Richard, who was known to be Benjamin Franklin, was the editor of "Poor Richard's Almanac." An almanac would be as common a book in the households of the time as a Bible; it provided everyday advice about the weather, recipes and other down-to-earth, practical information. The pseudonym "Poor Richard" combines two opposites: "poor" and "rich"."
