Duties of a son, from The Story of Aqhat: To erect a stele for his ancestral gods; to build a family shrine in the sanctuary; to guard his footsteps from earth to underworld; to take his hand when he is drunk; to put his arm over one's shoulder when he is full of wine; to eat a funeral meal in the temple of Ba'al; to offer a sacrifice in the house of El.

Kevin,
Of course. I've added it to the post.

I don't know what this woman's educational background is. The Brueggemann and Fretheim volumes are excellent.
I'd also recommend Eugene F. Roop's commentary on Genesis from the Believer's Church Bible Commentary (http://www.heraldpress.com/books/bcbcgenesis.htm ) --a series which keeps abreast of scholarship but is definitely written for the Church.
The Exodus volume from Waldemar Janzen in that same series is also very helpful: http://www.heraldpress.com/books/bcbcexodus.htm
Geared especially for laity but beyond most Sunday School material is Page H. Kelley's _Journey to the Land of Promise: Genesis-Deuternony_ in the "All the Bible" series by Smyth & Helewys. http://www.helwys.com/books/kelley.html
