Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Who were these grand old men, the patriarchs of Israel? Though we all know the biblical stories in which they star, the Bible does not provide a whole lot of information about their backgrounds. As a result, these men remain almost mythical characters whose faith is nearly beyond comprehension.

Who were these men whose readiness to believe in the one God – back when the rest of the world worshipped many – changed forever the way all mankind thinks and feels?
