Matthew 1-4
1. The Story of Ruth
Richard Fix gives a compelling argument that Ruth may have not been a Moabite after all but really a Jew. Fix's primary argument hinges on God's command forbidding interrmarriage with the Moabites along with a reexamination of the geography of the land designated as "the country of Moab." Consequently, his final argument that "elohim" refers to "judges" rather than "gods" and "God is not as compelling and deserves further research. [ADD]
