Ruth 1:15-22 | Literary Study
from Mountains and Mustard Seeds Hosted by Erica Kambeitz
What do sandwiches, pizza and Biblical literature all have in common? Not much, but Erica makes some comical connections as word pictures in this study of Ruth 1:15-22 (NASB). We unpack the literary brilliance of chiasm, and learn how to identify it, how it works, and how it unpacks a text in fresh ways for the modern reader. SHOW NOTES: Chiastic structure for Ruth's loyalty oath (1:16-17; pattern A-B-C-D-D'-C'-B'-A') 1 Do not plead with me to leave you or to turn back from following you; 2 for where you go, I will go, 3 and where you sleep, I will sleep. 4 Your people shall be my people, 5 and your God, my God. 6 Where you die, I will die, 7 and there I will be buried. 8 May the Lord do so to me, and worse, if anything but death separates me from you.” If you have a question or would like to connect with Erica, please email [email protected] Podcast instrumental music by Scott Holmes and Joseph McDade.
