Next Meeting: Nov. 24 in Sheil Lower Level (7pm) - no need to have attended previous meetings!

We will begin with Ruth chapter 4, verse 1.

As promised, here is Lord Byron's rousing account of the Assyrian King Sennacharib's attack on Jerusalem. It is a poetic rendition of the events described in the Book fo Isaiah, chapters 36 and 37.

Next Meeting: Nov. 10 in Sheil Lower Level (7pm) - no need to have attended previous meetings!

This week we'll begin with Ruth chapter 2 verse 8.

Something to think about: what is the role of "chance" in the Book of Ruth (consider Ruth 2:3)? How much seems to be directly influenced by God's actions, and where is God to be found in each of the relationships among the characters? Ruth is not a book in which God's presence and actions are often overtly discussed (as, for example, in Genesis).

Some passages to consider in which this concept of "chance" arises (at least, the same word in Hebrew is used) are: Ecclesiastes 2:15 and 1 Samuel 6:9.

Ruth, Naomi, and Orpah, William Blake

This week we begin reading the Book of Ruth.

We kick off with Ruth 1:1. If you can, try to read through the first chapter of Ruth in advance. If you don't get to it, no worries. We will always read the passages together before discussing them.
