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.

Evidence: Genesis 17:20; Genesis 21:13; Q 2:127 · grounded by AM-CLAIM-000231, AM-CLAIM-000242
