Description
The story of Ruth holds power to engage each reader's emotions, imagination, memory, and reason. This ecological reading of the book of Ruth explores how the text appeals to all concerned with the plight of the Earth. Alice M. Sinnott highlights the ecological dimensions of the text that scholars have ignored or dismissed in the past. She examines how the narrator gives voice to the way in which the Earth functions throughout the story, considering non-human characters as legitimate determining factors in the structuring of the narrative. By doing so, she places special emphasis on the natural world and its integral components. This commentary offers a fresh perspective on the book of Ruth, one that recognizes the validity of subjects from the natural world alongside those of human experience.
