Description: Drawing upon recent studies on the genre and discourse structure of biblical narrative, Bush shows how the loving loyalty of Ruth, the kindness and sagacity of both Boaz and Naomi, and God's gracious provision of fruitfulness for field and womb provide a son to reverse the death and emptiness that had afflicted the life of Naomi, an outcome of utmost significance for it preserved the family line that ultimately led to David. In the course of his investigation Bush deals at length with the difficult question of the role that the OT social customs of the levirate law and the redemption of land play in this powerful story, and, using a careful linguistic study of the text, sheds new light on the equally difficult question of the date of the book.

While offering professional insights into the technicalities of language and textual transmission, Bush also uses his expertise in Near Eastern studies to stir our hearts with a fresh look at the courage of Queen Esther and her loyal kinsman Mordecai.
