“…Juga oleh karena kebaikan inilah Rut dapat mengalami perlindungan di bawah sayap Allah. 29 Keyakinan akan kasih setia dan kebaikan Boas, yang mendorong Naomi dan Rut untuk pada akhirnya meminta Boas untuk menebus Rut dengan memberikan sayapnya untuk melindunginya (Rut 3:9-10). Permintaan Rut ini berkaitan dengan konsep komunitas perjanjian yang menantang Boas untuk menjalankan fungsinya sebagai penebus yang berkaitan dengan tanah dan keturunan.…”

The law of kinsman redeemer (Leviticus 25) and levirate marriage (Deuteronomy 25) are two laws related to the redemption process in the book of Ruth. A careful reader of the redemption process in Ruth 4 will conclude that there are some differences in the application of the laws in Leviticus 25 and Deuteronomy 25. Scholars tend to accept or reject these two laws as the background for the redemption in Ruth, but do not attempt to bridge the differences. which exists. The author tries to provide his opinion about the reasons and background that can bridge the differences. One of the factors that contributed to the difference was Ruth's background as a Moabite woman. Very important in the effort to apply these laws is hesed (faithful love). This is the basis and motivation in the application of these laws, so that there are expansions, mergers and adjustments in the effort to apply these laws.

“…Other interpretations downplay Tamar's role and emphasize Judah's worthiness as a patriarch and David's ancestor. The story has also proven to be empowering for women in relatively recent feminist interpretations (Adelman 2012;Claassens 2012;Niditch 1979). Who is the main character: Tamar or Judah?…”

Dialogue or Narrative? Exploring Tensions between Interpretations of Genesis 38

We examine dialectical tensions between “dialogue” and “narrative” as these discourses supplant one another as the fundamental discourse of intelligibility, through juxtaposing two interpretations of Genesis 38 rooted in changing interpretative paradigms. Is dialogue properly understood as a narrative genre, or is narrative the content about which people are in dialogue? Is the divine–human relationship a narrative drama or is it a dialogue between a god and human beings? We work within parameters laid out by the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer (primarily representing dialogue) and Ricoeur (primarily representing narrative). On the one hand, a feminist approach can develop Tamar as a courageous hero in impossible circumstances, strategizing to overturn Judah’s patriarchal naïveté. On the other hand, Judah seems to be able to be read as a tragic hero, seeking to save Tamar. These readings challenge one another, where either Tamar’s or Judah’s autonomy is undermined. By putting these interpretations into dialogue, our aim is to show that neither dialogue nor narrative succeeds the other with finality, and that we can achieve a fragile integration of the two (dialogue and narrative) despite their propensity toward polarization.

Theology of Resilience Amidst Vulnerability in the Book of Ruth

This article explores Ruth’s theology of resilience amidst vulnerability: a resilience rooted in ḥesed (loving kindness, a generosity beyond the call of duty). Ḥesed is a powerful social force that could address current issues for those both in privileged positions and in vulnerable situations. A re-reading of Ruth offers modern theologians and serious students of the Bible pathways towards building resilience amidst vulnerability, and in caring for those in vulnerable positions. The text at hand offers a pathway to be true to one’s core values and character, even amidst desperate situations. In Ruth resilience is developed by caring for others, identifying with a particular faith community, and taking initiatives while maintaining integrity. The narrative unveils a sustainable life of resilience that happens when one’s private and public life is lived congruently to each other. This article also reads Ruth’s narrative through a lens of a minority foreign woman that uses feminist and post-colonial approaches while looking at Ruth through a hermeneutic of trust. First, the author identifies her assumptions and considerations. Secondly, the article examines resilience as rooted in one’s identity and explores ḥesed under cultural and spiritual frameworks, within the narrative of Ruth and Naomi’s road scene from Moab to Bethlehem. Lastly, it examines resilience as rooted in ḥesed, within the narrative of the threshing floor scene encounter between Ruth and Boaz. The road and threshing floor scenes are decisive moments for Ruth. Her words and actions in each instance reveal her resilience: her strength of mind, emotion, and spirit, in spite of her vulnerability.
