For thousands of years, Ishmael has stood at the crossroads of faith, history, and identity. Muslims, Christians, and Jews all trace aspects of their heritage to Abraham—but their understanding of Ishmael’s role diverges sharply.
In The Truth About Ishmael, James F. Gauss investigates these claims through the earliest available sources. With emphasis on the Hebrew Bible’s detailed account, supported by archaeological timelines and historical inscriptions, Gauss examines:
- Who Ishmael was
- How his lineage developed
- What covenantal promises were made
- Why external historical records appear centuries later
- How Islamic tradition adopted and reshaped his story
Provocative, meticulously researched, and deeply relevant to modern discussions of religion and history, this book challenges readers to reconsider one of the oldest—and most contested—family narratives in the world.
