| Summary: | Flavius Josephus, in his Jewish Antiquities, gives an interesting version of the Biblical Book of Ruth (Ant V., 318–338). In his version of the Biblical Story, he gives a highly moralizing account of the fate of Ruth, Naomi and Boaz, completely omitting the messianic finale. Instead, Josephus tries to prove that Ruth's Story is a vital part of Israel's glorious history of Law and Virtue. Josephus thus tries to put a distance between Jewish faith and life, which is obedient to the Lord's Laws and therefore consistent with Roman customs and the messianic rebellion which led his people into defeat. The messianic versions of Ruth, Targum and Matthew, which are contemporary to Josephus are deliberately proven wrong by his account of the Biblical story. |
