NISSIM AMZALLAG, Esau in Jerusalem: The Rise of a Seirite Religious Elite in Zion in the Persian Period. Cahiers de la Revue Biblique 85. Pendé, J. Gabalda et Cie, 2015. ISBN 978–2–85021–242–0. Paperback 62,00 €
Esau in Jerusalem is a fascinating piece of highly original and meticulously argued and documented research. It is interesting to read, and it demonstrates how original thinking can shed new light on questions not previously pondered. The writing is lucid, and it is thoroughly grounded in the history of research. The author avoids scholarly jargon. The book is provided with excellent indices, and it includes a rich bibliography that sheds much light on the until now not sufficiently appreciated legacy of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah. The book is highly recommended for biblical scholars, university students and seminarians, as well as clergy and educated laypersons. One looks forward to reading many more highly original books and articles by Nissim Amzallag.
