(Re)reading Ruth, Paperback/William A. Tooman

Momentan nu sunt oferte disponibile.

The book of Ruth seems simple. It is the tale of a poor Moabite widow who relocates to Bethlehem and finds security there when she marries Boaz, a wealthy Israelite man. Although the plot is simple, the book's message is elusive. Re(reading Ruth) demonstrates how careful attention to the book's structure, allusions, wordplay, and location in the canon can reveal the dynamic ways that it engages with other biblical stories and how that engagement shapes its message.
