What a quiet shock of unexpected domestic drama the Book of Ruth is, after all the massacres and razing of cities. It serves, no doubt, to introduce the lineage of King David. I suspect he's going to be a major player.
The Old Testament is more of a linear narrative than I thought it was going to be. Not sure what I expected but I'm enjoying it. Anyway, ploughing on. I'm sure there's more smiting to come.
Thanks for all the reading recommendations.
