“Boaz is not diminished, marginalized, or feminized in the slightest by being outnumbered and influenced by Ruth and Naomi. As a matter of fact, he only grows stronger himself through his collaborations with them.” WomenBiblical Book:The Gospel of Ruth: Loving God Enough to Break the Rules Source: The Gospel of Ruth: Loving God Enough to Break the Rules
“The biblical assertion that women are created in God's image and Boaz's advocacy for Ruth and Naomi necessarily mean women, then and now, have inherent God-given rights.
