Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Ruth is welcomed into Israel's covenantal life, joined to the household of Boaz, and placed within the genealogy leading to David. Yet the biblical narrative continues to call her 'Ruth the Moabitess.'Why does the text preserve that designation Ruth the Moabitess presents a sustained textual, historical, legal, and genealogical investigation into one of the Hebrew Bible's most consequential questions: Does covenantal inclusion require the erasure or transformation of ancestral identity Moving carefully through Ruth, Deuteronomy 23, Israel's assembly laws, ancient geography, patrilineal genealogy, the Davidic line, Matthew's genealogy, and later Jewish interpretation, the authors distinguish categories that are frequently collapsed: - Ethnic and ancestral identity- Legal and territorial status- Covenant participation- Marriage and household incorporation- Genealogical descentThe study tests conversion, assimilation, territorial-transfer, and genealogical-reclassification theories against the language and structure of the biblical record. It also introduces the Dual-Layer Identity Model, which explains how covenant participation may expand without requiring genealogical identity to disappear.Extensive appendices provide lexical tables, historical comparisons, falsification tests, rival-model analysis, teaching resources, a reader's workbook, glossary, topic guide, subject index, source index, and bibliography.This is not merely a retelling of Ruth. It is a disciplined investigation into belonging, identity, covenant, and the interpretive cost of making the text say more than it records.…
