Essays on the Book of Ruth: A Historical and Cultural Context for the Story



My Own Words will feature a selection of essays and speeches by Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the inner workings of the Supreme Court, being Jewish, opera and the value of looking beyond U.S. shores when interpreting the U.S. Constitution.


Ginsburg will write an introduction to the book, and Hartnett and Williams will write introductions to each of the chapters, giving brief biographical context with quotes from a few of the hundreds of interviews they have conducted for their forthcoming biography of Ginsburg, which Simon & Schuster also will publish at a date to be determined.




essays on the book of ruth




The events of the Book of Ruth take place in the days of the judges when immorality and arbitrariness were frequent in Israel. The book tells the story of a young pagan woman named Ruth who leaves her homeland to follow her mother-in-law Naomi to Israel (King James Bible, 2020). There, she marries Boaz, her influential relative, and even becomes the progenitor of King David. This means that the woman is also the foremother of the Son of David, Jesus, and in his genealogy, among the few women, her name also appears.


The theme of sexual relations between the main characters of the book is the demonstration of strong spiritual unity between the Church and Christ which is so mystical that cannot be expressed with words.


The embodiment of Ruth as a holy woman is considered to be a bright example of a biblical symbol changing the lives of many believers. The Book of Ruth is proved to play a significant role for the Holy Bible and reflect all spiritual symbols and holy traditions in the description of its characters. This book can influence every reader and show how God can change our life in case we follow His word and His thoughts. The Book of Ruth disclosed all the roots of Bible ancient traditions and showed that every person has a right to choose how to live and what principles of life to follow. This book reflects all the main positions of the Bible followed by people on the example of a woman with her blessings and blame whose only sense of life is God and His holy Word.

Perspectives on Language and Language Development brings together new perspectives on language, discourse and language development in 31 chapters by leading scholars from several countries with diverging backgrounds and disciplines. It is a comprehensive overview of language as a rich, multifaceted system, inspired by the lifework of Ruth A. Berman. Edited by Dorit Ravid and Hava Bat-Zeev Shyldkrot, both from Tel Aviv University, Israel, the book offers state-of-the-art portrayals of linguistic and psycholinguistic phenomena with new insights on the interrelations of language structure, discourse theory, and the development of language and literacy. The volume presents innovative investigations on the interface of language and narrative in a broad range of languages, with a section devoted to linguistic studies of Modern Hebrew. It traces the development of language and literacy from early childhood through adolescence to maturity in spoken and written contexts, and in monolingual as well as multilingual perspectives.


Linguists, psycholinguists, discourse scholars, cognitive psychologists, language teachers, education experts, and clinicians working in the field of language and discourse will find this book extremely useful both as a textbook and as a source of information.

This is a wonderful one-of-a-kind collection of memoir essays by women of North African and Middle Eastern Jewish heritage. My essay, "The Life & Times of Ruth of the Jungle," explores my relation with my Moroccan family and my grandfather's legacy.


"You have a good idea of the strength of the relationships in the book, as well as Riva's character development. However, much of your essay circles around bigger ideas without getting into any specific analysis.Your introduction is very repetitive and makes vague statements about love, hope, and relationships. While it's fine to make broad statements, you'll want to zero in on a more specific theme before you get into the body of your paper. Specifically, you'll want to connect these ideas to the book.Make sure any quotes you use are relevant and worth quoting. For example, the quotation about Mama being a widow is just a factual statement that you could make on your own; it doesn't make sense to quote this directly.Your conclusion starts to come together to give a better idea of your thesis; make sure it's present in your introduction as well.It would be a good idea to work with an editor to address grammar issues, flow, clarity, sentence structure, and transitions."
