The ancient book of Ruth speaks into todays world with astonishing relevance.In four short episodes, readers encounter refugees, undocumented immigrants, poverty, hunger, womens rights, male power and privilege, discrimination, and injustice. In Finding God in the Margins, Carolyn Custis James reveals how the book of Ruth is about God, the questions that surface when life falls apart, and how God reaches into the margins and chooses two totally marginalized women who, in the eyes of the patriarchal culture, are zeros. Against the backdrop of disturbing issues in todays world, this bracing narrative puts on display a radical gospel way of living together as human beings that shouts the Kingdom of God, foreshadows Jesus gospel, and raises the bar for men and women, then and now.About the Author:Carolyn Custis James is an award-winning author and international speaker.
