Fried, Ruth: A Commentary (Sheffield Phoenix)

NEW BOOK FROM SHEFFIELD PHOENIX PRESS:
Ruth: A Commentary
By Lisbeth S. Fried
£58.00 £25.00

After the significant and ground-breaking commentaries on Ezra and Nehemiah by Lisbeth Fried, she now turns her attention to a different genre of biblical literature and to the book of Ruth. Fried approaches Ruth as folktale, specifically, a fairy tale. This new reading of Ruth allows the book to be experienced in a new way, a way infrequently recognized, that provides novel but compelling insights into the author’s intentions and goals.
