After the Flood depicts the plight of the descendants of Noah
beginning around the time of his death. The central character is
Abraham who follows a lifestyle and attitude exemplary beyond that
of his contemporaries. It's important that of all the characters
mentioned in the Bible, Abraham (originally named Abram) is
unquestionably the one who has the most universal reverence.
Abraham is still living in Ur of the Chaldees. But, he moves to
Haran from his homeland. He lives and prospers there for many years
and, then, ultimately completes his journey to Canaan. The novel
suggests that the wanderings from Ur to Canaan were driven by a
combination of strategic military objectives by Abraham's fellow
Hebrews, and God's intention to found a theocracy of non-pagan
people worthy of his government.
After the Flood depicts the life of the Hebrews from the
apparent start of Abraham's interaction with God until the probable
first realization by Abraham that he had failed to fulfill God's
objective to perfection. The story concludes at the time of the
expulsion of his first son, Ishmael, and Ishmael's mother, Hagar,
from the community. This sad event has a past and continuing affect
on world affairs.
