Queer Interpretation

Today, I highlight Rhiannon Graybill’s chapter, "Love Makes a Family: Queer Kinship in Ruth," from my edited volume, At the Intersection of Hermeneutics and Homiletics. Graybill, a professor of Hebrew Bible at the University of Richmond, explores queer interpretations of the text while resisting fixed definitions. She ultimately challenges readers to remain attentive to the nuances and complexities of queer kinship throughout the story of Ruth. #bookofruth #queerreading #homiletics #interpretation
