Abstract

This article discusses the historical context and the social strength of the book of Ruth as a banner of defense of the rights of the poor, foreigners, widows and women, in confrontation and challenge to the ethnocentric, xenophobic and ideological intolerance positions of Ezra in the post-exile period. It will be discussed the acceptance of the book of Ruth in the Hebrew canon as well as the attempt to attenuate, if not to annul, its egalitarian ideal through the inclusion of the sacerdotal genealogy at the end of it.
