This volume highlights and advances new developments in the study of Edom and Idumea in eighteen essays written by researchers from different disciplines (History, Archaeology, Assyriology, Epigraphy, Memory Studies, and Hebrew Bible studies).

The topics examined include the emergence of Idumea, the evolution of Edomite/Idumean identity, the impact of the Arabian trade on the region, comparative and regional studies of Idumea and Judah, studies of specific sites, artifacts, epigraphic and literary sources, and a section on literary and ideological constructions and memories of Edom reflected in the Hebrew Bible.

This volume is a go-to place for all who are interested in the current state of research about these matters.
