Description: Polyamory and Reading the Book of Ruth establishes a polyamorous hermeneutic for reading biblical texts and applies it to the Book of Ruth. The book concludes with a contemporary 'targumic' rendition of the Book of Ruth, which foregrounds this polyamorous reading.
Review Quotes:
Kahn-Harris goes boldly and forges a new path towards expanding inclusion and equity. This brave and original book explores the frontiers of polyamory - in the book of Ruth, in new Targumic reimagining, and in our challenging present, too, where now, as then, 'the course of true love never did run smooth'. For those receptive to letting the biblical text reveal its full range of possibilities, this book will open new horizons.
