Ruth: An Uncommon Grace
The Book of Ruth is a beautiful exploration of power and vulnerability, grace and creating space for strangers. And it is also the only biblical text to describe and celebrate female friendship. We will do a close reading of Ruth, utilizing both traditional and modern commentaries.
