the readings are NOT required!

[Joey]

One more thing, everybody.... Although I may provide excerpts for
recommended reading, I am well aware that there are many people who do
not like to read academic articles. There is nothing mandatory here.
I'll go over everything in class, so be sure that I'm just providing
this stuff for people who like the challenge. Otherwise, sit back and
go along for the ride!

It's okay. Thick readiing like this on an occasional basis is sort of
like shredded wheat, it's good for me.

Interesting reading on the history of the Idumaeans--Judah/Idumeans, Judaens, etc. History is ultimately an argument of the facts or reported facts on hand. Just something to keep in mind; each historian's posing an argument in one form or another.

thanks for the additional material.
