Description

Borders and Belonging: The Book of Ruth is a powerful exploration of the Old Testament story that resonates deeply in today's world. Pádraig Ó Tuama and Glenn Jordan reflect on the themes of migration, the stranger, mixed cultures and religions, law and leadership, women in public life, kindness, generosity and fear, revealing the redemptive power of Ruth's story in the face of social and political divisions.

This book has been widely used as a public theology initiative, bringing together people with opposing views and enabling them to be heard. Its immediacy and relevance have made it a compelling resource for those seeking to navigate the complexities of our times. By exploring the challenges and opportunities presented by Ruth's story, Ó Tuama and Jordan offer a fresh perspective on how to be effective in the public square and build communities of faith.
