Brotherhood and Inheritance A Canonical Reading of the Esau and Edom Traditions

'"Brotherhood and Inheritance" is a commendable and original theological study on the interpretations surrounding the tradition of Esau and Edom; in various ways, it also goes beyond that, asking valid questions concerning literary motifs--such as election, possession, land, and blessing--that permeate an important part of the literature of the ancient Near East.The author should be credited for the amount of scholarship involved, as well as for providing readers with a thorough textual study. Finally, as is usually the case with volumes in the LHBOTS series, the book has been meticulously and satisfactorily edited.'Juan Manuel Tebes, Argentine Catholic University, University of Buenos Aires, National Research Council, in "Journal of Hebrew Scriptures".
