    S6 E31 | Dr. Michelle Knight | Ruth Beyond the Hallmark Story

    In this conversation, Dr. Michelle Knight joins Dr. Lynn Cohick to talk about how to read the book of Ruth with careful hermeneutics rather than as a “Hallmark” love story. They explore the harsh realities of famine, displacement, and economic vulnerability in the days of the Judges and how these shape Naomi and Ruth’s choices. Dr. Knight also highlights Ruth’s boldness, loyalty (hesed), and agency, showing her as a model of discipleship and courageous faith, not a passive “damsel in distress.” They also dive into Boaz’s over-the-top care, the moral complexity of the nighttime threshing floor scene, and the way God restores Naomi’s hope and joy through ordinary, faithful people.   Resources Mentioned:    The Visual Museum of Women in Christianity   2026 Visual Museum Symposium Women of the Bible in Art (Museum of the Bible) Center for Women in Leadership S5 E14 | Dr. Michelle Knight | Defying Expectations: How The Vulnerable Became Victorious In The Old Testament The Prophet's Anthem: The Song of Deborah and Barak in the Narrative of Judges by Dr. Michelle Knight Episode Sponsor:   The Alabaster Jar is brought to you by The Center for Women in Leadership, a newly formed 501©3 nonprofit organization whose purpose is to equip women in a context that is biblically rooted, theologically robust, and ethnically diverse to thrive as leaders in the academy, the marketplace, and the Church.
