Product Information

"Through a close reading of the Book of Ruth, Leon Kass and Hannah Mandelbaum transform how we see the story and how we see ourselves. A marvelous gem of a book."--Russ Roberts "A thoughtful and thought-provoking book."-- Booklist Through close reading and responsive commentary, Reading Ruth: Birth, Redemption, and the Way of Israel vivifies this much-loved biblical text, enabling readers to imagine how a widowed woman from an alien nation becomes the ancestress of the greatest Israelite king. As the authors (granddaughter and grandfather) also show, the Book of Ruth is about much more than the Cinderella-like rise of a woman from misery to glory. Ruth's story sheds light on certain enduring questions of human life, and on the Hebrew Bible's answers to those questions: the meaning of national membership and identity; the nature and limits of female friendship, marital love, and familial obligations; the importance of attachment to the land; and, especially, the redemptive powers for human life of childbirth, loving-kindness, and loyal devotion.

Reviews
"This new approach to the Biblical Book of Ruth radiates intelligence, wisdom and kindness. The authors guide the readers through the memorable story of Noemi and Ruth, two women closely attached to each other, who come home to the Promised Land, Noemi as a returning native who has lost her husband and her sons, and Ruth, her widowed daughter-in-law, as a stranger. Rectitude, modesty and courage are their virtues, which, thanks to a beautiful love encounter with wise, generous Boaz, lead to Ruth's marriage, conversion and motherhood. At each step, Kass and Mandelbaum help us capture the feelings of the characters, their mutual fidelity, and the happiness they achieve in a Biblical Israel open to virtue and piety. A deeply moving book, uplifting and true."-- Thomas Pavel, University of Chicago " Reading Ruth combines careful reading of the Book of Ruth with sensitive regard for the human experiences that lie at its core. Capturing the authenticity of the uplifting human interactions between the protagonists of this short narrative, the book reflects upon themes such as loyalty and devotion, family and marriage, friendship, community, and nobility of character. Allowing us a glimpse into the unadulterated joy of a study partnership laced with affection, the authors invite us to join them on a delightful journey into the Book of Ruth. Reading Ruth with respect and warmth, Kass and Mandelbaum unveil the inner world of Ruth's characters, engaging the reader's head and heart, and allowing the places, dialogues, and dilemmas of the biblical book to spring to life."-- Yael Ziegler, author of Ruth: From Alienation to Monarchy "[O]ur era has somehow contrived to produce the ideal teacher in Leon Kass: learned humanist, medical doctor, bioethicist of distinction, gentleman, and wise counselor."-- George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow and William E. Simon Chair in Catholic Studies, Ethics and Public Policy Center, on Founding God's Nation: Reading Exodus "To 'read Ruth' with Leon Kass and his granddaughter Hannah is to find a host of new meanings in that familiar tale. This little book, infused with the ineffable quality of chesed, is a pure delight."-- Mary Ann Glendon, author of A World Made New: Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights "Do you have the Bible on your bookshelf, but wish you knew it better? Reading Ruth is for anyone--religious or secular, Jew or Christian--who seeks solace in the Hebrew Scriptures and who loves the Jewish people. Yet behind the familiar yet inexhaustible story of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz, there is the story of Leon and Hannah. The authors who draw so much wisdom from the deep well of this biblical text are a grandfather and granddaughter, separated by an ocean, yet united in mourning their beloved Amy [wife to Leon and grandmother to Hannah]. Together they read and remember her insight, and so come to terms with their loss. Reading Ruth is truly a tale for our times."-- Daniel Johnson, Editor of TheArticle, founding Editor of Standpoint and former Literary Editor of the London Times, PRAISE FOR LEON R. KASS'S BOOKS: "Extraordinary . . . Its analyses and hypotheses will leave no reader's understanding of Genesis unchanged."-- New York Times on The Beginning of Wisdom "Throughout his book, Kass uses fruitful, fascinating techniques for getting at the heart of Genesis . . . Innumerable times [he] makes a reader sit back and rethink what has previously been tediously familiar or baffling."-- Washington Post on The Beginning of Wisdom "A learned and fluent, delightfully overstuffed stroll through the Gates of Eden . . . Mix Harold Bloom with Stephen Jay Gould and you'll get something like Kass. A wonderfully intelligent reading of Genesis."-- Kirkus Reviews , starred review on The Beginning of Wisdom "Kass is a distinguished and graceful writer."-- Times Literary Supplement on The Hungry Soul "Impressive, persuasive, and important. Highly recommended."-- Choice on Toward a More Natural Science "There can be no clearer exposition of the moral complexities of 21st-century biotechnology than has been provided by Leon Kass's intellectual depth and graceful style."-- New York Times Book Review on Life, Liberty & the Defense of Dignity, "This new approach to the Biblical Book of Ruth radiates intelligence, wisdom and kindness. The authors guide the readers through the memorable story of Noemi and Ruth, two women closely attached to each other, who come home to the Promised Land, Noemi as a returning native who has lost her husband and her sons, and Ruth, her widowed daughter-in-law, as a stranger.

Thinking through the biblical story of personal friendship, women and family, without losing the political frame of the transition from the world of judges to kings, pondering the question of why an ''outsider'' should be identified as the origin of the royal Davidic line, the authors draw their readers into reflection with them on fundamental human questions."-- Ronna Burger, Professor of Philosophy, Catherine & Henry J. Gaisman Chair and Director of Judeo-Christian Studies, Sizeler Professor of Jewish Studies, Tulane University, PRAISE FOR LEON KASS'S BOOKS: "Extraordinary . . .
