Edited via a Jew and a Christian who're united via a shared ardour for the Bible and a standard literary hermeneutic, it joins biblical scrolls and gathers round them a various group of interpreters. It brings jointly Ruth and the track of Songs, likely disparate texts of the Hebrew Bible, and reads them via a few of the methodological and theological views.
