Ruth: Bridges and Boundaries is a literary close reading of the
text as a bridge between the anarchic period of the Judges and the
monarchic age that begins with the birth of David, as reflected
through Ruth's absorption process within Bethlehemite society. This
bridge is constructed from three main axes: the theological
perception that human actions have the power to shape and advance
reality; the moral-legal perception that the spirit of the law must
be privileged over the letter of the law and social conventions;
and the principle that the institute of monarchy must be based upon
human compassion. The commentary traces the narrative sequence
through the paradigm of this three-fold cord, showing how these
threads are woven throughout the book. This innovative reading is
illustrated with an unprecedented psychological analysis of Ruth as
a narrative of transition, using modern psychological theories.
This contemporary yet textually faithful literary commentary offers
new insight into the inner workings of the text of Ruth as literary
masterpiece. Academic yet accessible, this work provides tools for
readers of Ruth and the field of biblical narrative in general.
