Ruth

<p>This volume using multiple methods seeks to bring together the best scholarship and insight--Jewish and Christian past and present--that has contributed to our understanding and appreciation of the biblical book of Ruth. As a feminist commentary it is particularly sensitive to issues of relationship and inclusion power and agency. In addition to the voices of the primary co-authors Alice Laffey and Mahri Leonard-Fleckman the volume incorporates and integrates important contributing voices from diverse contemporary social contexts and geographical locations. In sum the commentary seeks to allow Ruth Naomi and Boaz to speak again for the first time.</p>
