On the surface, the book of Ruth tells the tale of an unlikely marriage between a destitute Moabite widow and an upstanding citizen of a Judean village. The deeper import of the story, however, has to do with the internal boundaries that define the people of God. Is Israel a closed community, held together exclusively by bonds of kinship, or a nation that welcomes faithful outsiders into its sphere of belonging? Ruth appropriates marriage as the symbolic vehicle of a transformation in Israel's self-understanding from a community articulated by Naomi?s declaration that her daughters-in-law marry within their own people, to the acclamations by the people of Bethlehem that endorse Boaz?s marriage to a Moabite. L. Daniel Hawk undertakes a detailed narrative analysis of Ruth that goes beyond the description of its content and stylistic features to illumine its deep structure and use of metaphor. Informed by contemporary studies on ethnicity, he discovers a work of remarkable sophistication that employs a story of intermarriage to address opposing ideas of Israelite identity. Hawk?s meticulous attention to patterned structures, stylistic devices and characterization reveals the strategy by which the narrator constructs a vision of Israel that looks beyond rigid internal boundaries to the welcome of faithful foreigners as agents of blessing.

Store description
Dalton Books is a seller of mostly used and out of print books. I do my best to accurately grade and describe each book. Most are in good condition or better. I specialize in Christian and religious books, but carry a wide variety of inventory. I add to it on a regular basis. I ship with Delivery Confirmation in the U.S. Since I work out of my home, the best way to contact me is by email. I check it frequently. Not all of my books are in catalogs. If you don't see what you are looking for in a catalog, be sure to search my inventory by title or author.…
