How does this ancient story of faith and migration still shape our world today?

Reflective Prompt

The textbook describes Abraham’s journey as a “radical departure” and a “profound theological break.” Why was the idea of a single, universal, and personal God who valued justice so revolutionary in a world dominated by the polytheistic empires of Mesopotamia? How did this new worldview set the stage for a different kind of civilization?
