Episode 555 FORGOTTEN BOOKS Reading Ruth Against the Grain (Ruth 1:14-18 and 3:1-15) REPLAY
Manage episode 433740390 series 3529718
This week BibleWorm explores Ruth chapters 1 and 3, trying to imagine Ruth’s own perspective and calling out some of the ways that the book portrays painful parts of the immigrant experience. We see how the scene at the threshing floor plays on the worst stereotypes of Moabite women, and how Ruth’s beautiful statement of loyalty to Naomi also carries with it an erasure of her own heritage. We try to recognize our own blind spots, and lean into the scholarship of others who can help shed new light.
