Doctrine Graph
Doctrine is a network, not a list
The graph has no fixed centre. It opens on Abraham — the one figure every tradition in the record shares — and you can start from any node. Every edge carries its evidence, its classification and how each tradition stands on it.

Connections of Abraham
AM-DOC-0005Explicit connectionHighPriesthoodProvisional
Melchizedek ↔ Abraham · Narrative precedent
Melchizedek blesses Abram and receives a tithe, grounding the later priestly argument.
Tradition status: Shared textual basis; significance weighted differently.
Evidence: Genesis 14:18-20; Hebrews 7:1-10 · grounded by AM-CLAIM-000187
AM-DOC-0015Explicit connectionVery highCovenantProvisional
Abraham ↔ Isaac · Covenant heir
Genesis establishes the covenant with Isaac; the Qurʾān names Isḥāq and Yaʿqūb as gifts to Ibrāhīm without a covenant-line distinction.
Tradition status: Covenant line central in Jewish and Christian readings; not a category of the Qurʾānic portrait.
Evidence: Genesis 17:19–21; Genesis 21:12; Q 6:84 · grounded by AM-CLAIM-000242
AM-DOC-0016Explicit connectionVery highAbrahamProvisional
Abraham ↔ Ishmael · Son and co-founder
Genesis blesses Ishmael outside the covenant line; the Qurʾān presents Ismāʿīl raising the House with Ibrāhīm.
Tradition status: Shared figure, weighted very differently: blessed son in Genesis, co-founder of the House in the Qurʾān.
