Ruth is the shortest book of the Old Testament, being only four chapters long. It is partly for this reason that it lends itself so well to a short book introducing medieval exegesis; but it is also of interest in itself. Ruth poses a number of exegetical problems, including the basic one of why such an odd book, in which God never appears as an actor, and with a central character who was not an Israelite but a Moabite outsider, and a woman at that, should find a place in the canon of Scripture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medieval Institute Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892439466135,"sku":"9781879288683","price":1034.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781879288683.webp?v=1781186990","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/medieval-exegesis-in-translation-commentaries-on-the-book-of-ruth-9781879288683","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
