Discussion Questions
-
Dr. Buzzell categorizes the book of Ruth as a color book. Why?
-
Ruth is a book that adds details to the other settlement books of Joshua and Judges
-
Ruth is a color book because it doesn’t move the story along which “time” books do. Instead Ruth brings important detail and information we wouldn’t otherwise get if we just read the time books.
-
Ruth is a book that adds depth to the story but does not move the story forward like the time books do.
-
The Book of Ruth would fit Dr. Buzzell’s definition of an Old Testament “color” book because this Book does not advance the Old Testament story. However, the Book of Ruth does add details to the Old Testament story.
-
Dr Buzzell categorizes the book of Ruth as a colour book because it provides extra detail to the story of the Jewish people but doesn’t move the story along.
