A Sample Biblical Narrative: The Story of Ruth
We begin sampling a biblical narrative by reading the Book of Ruth. I have chosen it because it is short (just four chapters), it is about migrant women (and therefore very timely), and it is just the kind of story that can raise a lot of discussions (this will become obvious as we proceed). The article is divided into three parts. The first part presents a brief outline of the Book of Ruth. The second part explains some customs and ideas found in the story that may appear strange to the reader. The third part offers some tips for reading the narrative.
