Summary
How controversial is the Book of Ruth? Is marriage to a foreign woman presumed to be unproblematic or discussed? Deborah Storek sees a subtle controversy in the narrative depiction of marriage as the fulfilment of two legal customs (levirate and redemption) as well as in discursive intertextual allusions to other biblical texts.
