{"product_id":"9781879288683","title":"Medieval Exegesis in Translation: Commentaries on the Book of Ruth","description":"This book brings together and translates from the medieval Latin a series of commentaries on the biblical book of Ruth, with the intention of introducing readers to medieval exegesis or biblical interpretation. . . . Ruth is the shortest book of the Old Testament, being only four chapters long. It is partly for this reason that it lends itself so well to a short book introducing medieval exegesis; but it is also of interest in itself. Ruth poses a number of exegetical problems, including the basic one of why such an odd book, in which God never appears as an actor, and with a central character who was not an Israelite but a Moabite outsider, and a woman at that, should find a place in the canon of Scripture.","brand":"Medieval Institute Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033175605488,"sku":"9781879288683","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781879288683_p0.jpg?v=1763603322","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781879288683","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
