Reading Ruth in the Restoration Period: A Call for Inclusion by Dr Edward Allen

Description: Reading Ruth in the Restoration Period by Dr Edward Allen Jones III Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Most scholars of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament recognize Ruths simplicity and beauty, yet there has been little consensus in critical scholarship related to the books origin and purpose. Opinions on the texts date range from the early monarchic period down to the Post-Exilic period, and interpreters argue over whether the narrative served to whitewash Davids lineage, or if it held Ruth out as a positive example of Gentile inclusion in the Judean community.With an eclectic approach drawing on traditional exegesis, analysis of inner-biblical allusions, comparisons of legal and linguistic data, and modern refugee research, Edward Allen Jones III argues that Ruth is, indeed, best understood as a call for an inclusive attitude toward any Jew or Gentile who desired to join the Judean community in the early Post-Exilic period. Within the narratives world, only Boaz welcomes Ruth into the Bethlehemite community, yet the texts re-use of other biblical narratives makes it clear that Ruth stands on par with Israels great matriarchs. Though certain segments of the Judean community sought to purify their nation by expelling foreign elements in the Restoration period, Yhwhs loving-kindness in Ruths life demonstrates his willingness to use any person to build up his people.
