AB 7D: Ruth

In recent years, students, scholars, and lay readers of the Bible have
been increasingly drawn to the book of Ruth. Delving deeply into the
complicated nature of its characters' relationships, Jeremy Schipper encourages
readers to consider the roles that categories of difference involving gender,
disability, household status, ethnicity, and sexual desire play throughout the
text. This fresh translation of the deceptively simple book is more literal and
less idiosyncratic than its predecessors. Combining the traditional strengths
of the Anchor Yale Bible series with the latest research in biblical
scholarship, Schipper's much-needed volume will succeed Edward F. Campbell's
1975 edition as the go-to commentary for years to come.
