The ancient book of Ruth speaks into todayÕs world with astonishing relevance.In four short episodes we encounter refugees, undocumented immigrants, poverty, hunger, womenÕs rights, male power and privilege, discrimination, and injustice.In Finding God in the Margins, Carolyn Custis James reveals how the book of Ruth is about God, the questions that surface when life falls apart, and how he reaches into the margins and chooses two totally marginalized women who in the eyes of the patriarchal culture are zeros.Against the backdrop of disturbing issues we are facing today, this bracing narrative puts on display a radical gospel way of living together as human beings that shouts the Kingdom of God, foreshadows JesusÕ gospel, and raises the bar for women and for men then and now.
