Synopsis

<p>The book Ruth is recognized as one of the world's literary <br>masterpieces. Murray Gow's study illuminates the artistry of its anonymous <br>author, showing how the separate sections relate to the book as a whole. <br>Though Ruth is a moving story, it is also a presentation of God's <br>providence in which human agency and divine activity are intermeshed.<br>Against recent denials Murray Gow defends the traditional view that the <br>marriage of Ruth and Boaz is leviratic. He sees the book's purpose as <br>being to defend the Moabite element in the ancestry of King David and <br>concludes by offering suggestion as to its provenance, date and authorship.</p>
