Abstract
MASENYA (NGWAN'A MPHAHLELE), Madipoane. A Woman with Multiple Identities: Reading the Ruth Character in Post-Apartheid South Africa. Old testam. essays [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.1, pp.189-201. ISSN 2312-3621. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2312-3621/2023/v36n1a11.
Our varied identities as Old Testament scholars located on the African continent need to shape our reading processes as well as our scholarship. The Ruth character in the Book of Ruth in the Hebrew Bible carries multiple identities. If the character is engaged within the intersection of foreignness, migration, gender, and economic survival, which reading may emerge? How would such a reading impact the theory and praxis of South African Old Testament scholarship in present-day South Africa?
Keywords : Ruth; character; multiple identities; gender.
