Contextual Bible Study: A Mirror for Contemporary Cultural Issues

Using Ruth as a mirror for contemporary cultural issues, is that a fair way of putting it? Yes. Contextual Bible study is based on the Latin American siege-attacked structure so that you're looking at your context and bringing to bear when it was written. So I guess that hermeneutical question, how do you handle this text is always in front of us, isn't it?Yes. And that's the kind of question I love to deal with because it means that you have to redefine biblical authority. You have to redefines biblical authority, not as submission to the text, but in fact, struggling with the text,. It's participating in deriving meaning today.
