The Jacob/Esau Saga is the shortened name of Dr. Williams' PhD dissertation. In his dissertation protocol, the title is "Should the Jacob/Esau Saga and the History of Israel and Edom Be the Lens through which One Views and Interprets Paul's Statements in Romans 9:10-13?" The answer is a resounding "Yes!" When one views the history of the brothers and of their descendants, one finds that the Calvinist position that Esau/Edom represents the non-elect foreordained to eternal damnation is impossible to hold.
