AU - AU - TI - The New International Commentary on the Old Testament SN - 9780802825261 U1 - 221.7 CY - U.S.A KW - Bible -- Ruth N2 - Gleaning the best from recent research on Ruth, Hubbard gives the story's rich literary, grammatical, and theological dimensions a careful, rigorous treatment. He allows for the possibility that the anonymous author was a woman and argues that the narrative itself aims to counter opposition to the Davidic monarchy in Israel and Judah during Solomon's reign. Throughout, Hubbard's sensitivity to the literary genius of Ruth's author and his coherent explication of the outworking of the book's theological themes make this volume an invaluable tool for anyone desiring to explore the intriguing story of Ruth in depth UR - https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/21/_046184600_140.jpg ER -
