	JewishEncyclopedia.com - RUTH, BOOK OF:
		The Book of Ruth, which is poetically idyllic in character, although the narrative is in the form of prose, contains an episode from the period of the Judges.
		Ruth, in spite of the dissuasion of Naomi, accompanied her mother-in-law to Bethlehem, and cast in her lot with the people of Judah.
		According to this classification, the form of levirate in the Book of Ruth is the oldest of all, but here is encountered the difficulty that the described form of purchase of the estate of Naomi does not at all accord with any form of levirate, but with the law of Lev.

		Y I Broch, The Book of Ruth (1975); E F Campbell, Ruth (1975); R M Hals, The Theology of the Book of Ruth (1969).
		The presence of the Book of Ruth after that of Judges in the Septuagint, whence it passed into the Vulgate and the English Versions, is easily explained by the systematic arrangement of the historical books of the Old Testament in that ancient Greek Version.
		As the precise object of the Book of Ruth is not expressly given either in the book itself or in authentic tradition, scholars are greatly at variance concerning it.

	The Story of Ruth - Shavuot at OU.ORG
		The Story of Ruth is also the classic Jewish "mother-in-law" - "daughter-in-law" story, in that it is the story of a relationship of great love, loyalty and devotion which develops between the two female heroines of the story.
		When Ruth chooses a field among the many possibilities to glean in, the Megillah uses an expression which is probably a thinly-veiled reference to "hashgachah pratit," supervision by Hashem over events in the lives of individuals, a basic assumption of the Jewish faith.
		At the end of the harvest, she advises Ruth to dress in her finery and go to Boaz, who is working in his threshing barn, to ask him during the night to be the redeemer of the property of Elimelech, and to marry Ruth.

	The Book of Ruth
		Ruth, her mother, was the kind of bohemian mother so charmingly, frighteningly different from one's own in the 1950's and 60's, a mother who offered her children cigarettes and did creative things with her house and danced braless with other people's husbands at exciting, tipsy parties.
		When Johnson was a depressed teen-ager, Ruth, then divorced, was away for nights at a time, leaving her daughter alone tripping on acid and having sex at an early age.
		Hillary Johnson is the author of an admirable book on chronic fatigue syndrome; her writing is competent, and she makes an effort to transcend the feeling of a published journal.

	The Book of Ruth: A Mystery Unraveled - Shavuot with Aish (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The essence of Ruth, her driving life force was the discovery and acceptance of the 606 commandments she was missing.
		Ruth the Moabite was looking for the missing 606 commandments not simply because she was looking for the truth and the right way to live, although no doubt these impulses were also a part of her drive to conversion.
		Thus the entire purpose of Ruth's marriage was to ensure that the soul of her first husband Machlon who died -- and the spiritual power and greatness that was latent in it -- would not be lost to the world or to Israel.

	Ruth - Shavuot Personalities
		It is appropriate to read the Book of Ruth on Shavuot for two reasons: First, because Shavuot is a harvest festival and the Book of Ruth gives us a picture of the harvest, and how the poor were treated in the harvest season with sympathy and love.
		Naomi had reminded her of the difficulties that confronted the Jew at all times, yet Ruth was unshaken in her determination to follow her mother-in-law and cling to the faith she had adopted -the faith that had become so dear to her.
		Ruth was full of excitement as she hastened to her mother-in-law and related all that had happened to her in the fields of Boaz.

		The two female leads in "The Book of Ruth" give Emmy-worthy performances: Christine Lahti as the embittered, emotionally withholding/abusive/cold-as-ice mother Maylene, and NicholleTom as her long-suffering -- and we do mean suffering -- daughter Ruth.
		Ruth has always been second-rate in her mother's eyes, a target of resentment and ridicule, while her college-man brother Mark (Billy Wickman) receives every last ounce of mom's love and support.
		Ruth, utterly lacking in self-confidence thanks to mommykins, goes to work in a menial job and falls for Ruby even after the dude rapes her on their first date.

	2. Ruth
		Table 16.B displays the plot of the book of Ruth in relation to the movement from emptiness to fullness that is a central theme of the story.
		Because the book was set "in the days when the judges judged" (1:1) and provides background to the family of David, the early Greek version placed the book of Ruth between the books of Judges and Samuel, a practice followed by Christian versions of the Old Testament.
		Composed in the postexilic period from a pre-existing Ruth tale, and given a Davidic context of interpretation, the book of Ruth is probably evidence for an intense interest in the royal messianic line in the late biblical period.

	Lessons from the Book of Ruth : ChristianCourier.com
		Ruth’s magnificent and unselfish plea to accompany her mother-in-law—“where you go, I will go”—(1:16-17) has echoed across the centuries, and is a remarkable insight into the richness of her character.
		Near Bethlehem, Ruth went to work in the grain fields; there she met, and ultimately married, the benevolent Boaz—an older gentleman who was a “kinsman” by marriage.
		The book of Ruth demonstrates God’s love for the Gentiles, even in a period of history when the Hebrew people were given prominence due to their role in God’s redemptive plan for humanity.
