초록

이 논문은 룻기를 역사소설로 보거나 정치적 목적을 가지고 기록된 작품으로 보는 대신에 최종본문 상에서 하나님에 관하여 기술한 본문의 의미를 해석한다. 필자는 룻기를 고대 서아시아 종교의 배경 속에서 야웨 종교의 정체성을 드러내려는 종교적 목적을 내포한 책으로 해석하고 제안함으로써, 유대교와 기독교의 경전으로서 이 책이 갖는 의미를 확인하고자 한다.

Abstract

The book of Ruth has been interpreted as a short story or novella which has a political purpose: to protest the exclusionary policies of Ezra-Nehemiah(prohibition of mixed marriage), or to legitimate David's monarchy and to explain his providential ancestry. In the OT studies of Ruth, the diachronic method has been used, and the issue of ‘human being’ is always located in the center of these arguments. But Ruth has been read primarily not as a political book but as a canon of Judaism and Christianity. For this reason, this paper explores the descriptions of God in the final text of Ruth and the religious and theological meaning of these texts in the context of ancient West Asian Religion. This study uses a synchronic method(Canonical, Literary, Religious) to expound the book of Ruth. It attempts to propose a new understanding for the purpose of the writing of Ruth. The religions of the Moabites and the Canaanites were closely connected with fertility cults, and they understood that their gods(Baal-Anat, Chemosh-Ishtar Chemosh) gave them food and life. The book of Ruth, however, insists that YHWH gives food and life to the Israelites. It can be found in the verses of 1:6 and 4:13 which compose ‘inclusio’ in this book and some texts of this book directly and indirectly show YHWH as a God who gives food, life, goodness and blessing to His people(1:8, 2:4, 2:20). The fertility cults of Moab and Canaan continually influenced the Israelites from the beginning of their settlement in Canaan to the end of the kingdom of Israel. In this specific historical environment, Ruth proves that the core concepts(food, life) of paganism belong to God and describes Ruth and Naomi as positive images of faithful women in the OT. These elements of this book clearly delivered a religious message. Through this study, it can be proved that this book is written for the purpose of apologetics.
