Scrolls of Love: Ruth and the Song of Songs
Scrolls of affection is a e-book of unions. Edited by way of 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, possible disparate texts of the Hebrew Bible, and reads them via many of the methodological and theological views.
Key to a theology of scripture and the way theology services on the subject of the translation of Christianity's non secular texts is the $64000 factor of religion and historical past. looking to tackle a serious challenge in theology and the translation of scripture raised through glossy historic cognizance, Ben Fulford argues for a densely ancient and theological analyzing of scripture founded in a Christological rubric.

At the same time, the pericope of verses 1–16 makes one neat unit with its own plot, starting with the mention of Cain’s rise “with Yahweh” (v. 1) and ending with his downfall “out of Yahweh’s presence” (v. 16). The text itself consists of an alternation of narrative and dialogue: 1–5, introduction; 6–7, first dialogue; 8, outrage; 9–15a, second dialogue; 15b–16, closing.

The apodosis gives the juridical result that would take place if the boundaries mentioned in the participial protasis are not heeded. The juridical character of v. 15a is confirmed by the seal with an official sign (and recognizable as such). In this way v. 15 forms a fitting conclusion to the whole section of vv.
