Abraham is a 90-minute sacred concert piece for soloists, chorus, and orchestra. It dramatizes the biblical story
of Abraham, a man called by God to found a new people, through whom the whole world will be blessed. The
piece recounts Abraham’s faith through a series of tests: he trusts God to lead him to a promised land; he trusts
God to provide a promised son; and he trusts God’s character when the Lord commands him to make a terrible
sacrifice. The theme of this Old Testament story is summed up in the New Testament by the Apostle Paul:
“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness” (Rom. 4:3).
