Terah: The Father of Abram and the Unfinished Journey. Terah occupies a brief but significant place in the biblical story. Though less well known than his son Abram, Terah serves as a bridge between the genealogies of Shem’s descendants after the flood and the beginning of God’s covenant with Abraham. His story is one of beginnings, migrations, and an unfinished journey that ultimately set the stage for God’s great redemptive work.
