Christianity, Islam, and Judaism Before the Seven Gates of Torah
Three religions claim Abraham. Their claims cannot all be true.
Christianity, Islam, and Judaism make competing claims about Abraham’s God. This book tests their asserted authority against the texts they invoke, using the Seven Gates of Torah.
Three traditions. One appeal to Abraham. One burden of proof. The visual structure of the book: three competing claims approach the same Torah-first evidence test.
The Frans Hansen Seven Gates System
One claim. Seven gates. No exceptions.
A religion makes a claim about God, Torah, or prophecy. The Frans Hansen Seven Gates System asks seven clear questions. Every claim must face all seven.
Frans Hansen created this Torah-first system. This page does not describe another Seven Gates method.
