The Book of Ruth is one of the most fascinating and original books of the Bible. It contains a much greater proportion of dialogue than other books, so that it could easily be made into a film or performed as a play. The dialogue form makes it possible for us not only to follow the story but also, in a way that is unusual in the Bible, to see below the surface to the feelings and motivations of character. As Ellen van Wolde guides us through the book, she draws our attention to the constant change of perspective, and makes us see just what a brilliant storyteller the author of the book is.
