If it were otherwise we'd have to ask why Abram and Moses figure so prominantly.

I think that FAITH has something to do with it!

How about this, Abram and Moses figure prominantly in the Bible because God passed favorably on their prayers and revealed to them certain fundamental truths.

Their stories (as well as things that interested them) then became a major part of the Bible.
