Review:
...Abramovitch manages to illumine the psychic, social and personal cost to this revolutionary figure...
First the Father Abraham is a remarkable study. Abramovitch combines his biblical scholarship with carefully applied principles of cultural anthropology and of the psychology of the innovator. He does so with imagination, insight, devotion, and playfulness. Abraham emerges as a 'spiritual revolutionary' whose personal quest enriches us all.--Robert Jay Lifton, Author of "The Protean Self"
