This volume provides a readable introduction to the narrative book
of Ruth appropriate for the student, pastor, and scholar. LaCocque
combines historical, literary, feminist, and liberationist
approaches in an engaging synthesis. He argues that the book was
written in the post-exilic period and that the author was a woman.
Countering the fears and xenophobia of many in Jerusalem, the
biblical author employed the notion of h.esed (kindness, loyalty,
steadfast love), which transcends any national boundaries. LaCocque
focuses on redemption and levirate marriage as the two legal issues
that recur throughout the text of Ruth. Ruth comes from the
despised people of Moab but becomes a model for Israel. Boaz,
converted to the model of steadfast love, becomes both redeemer and
levir for Ruth and thus fulfills the Torah. In the conclusion to
his study, the author sketches some parallels with Jesus'
hermeneutics of the Law as well as postmodern problems and
solutions.
