This section of the article seems to keep coming and going. If it disappears again, I am going to request some level of protection on the page. It is merely one interpretation among several listed in the article, and should be treated as such. [[User:Sevey13|Sevey13]] ([[User talk:Sevey13|talk]]) 00:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
:Respectfully disagree. These "contempory interpretations" would be more accurately described as "[[WP:FRINGE|fringe]] interpretations" - and it seems to have been originally added by editors pushing a LGBT agenda.

::Seems weird to delete it here when it's mentioned on [[The Bible and homosexuality]] and [[Homosexuality in the Hebrew Bible]]. However, it's not mentioned in the articles for [[Ruth (biblical figure)]] or [[Naomi (biblical figure)]], so maybe it's not essential here. [[User:Aristophanes68|<
:::The topic of homosexuality in the bible is an interesting one, and certainly homosexual activity seemed to have been prevalent in parts of the ancient world without the negative influence of social mores seen in the modern world. But it's vulnerable to POV-pushing LGBT [[WP:ACTIVIST]] editors gratuitously inserting fringe material in order to "rub Christian readers' noses in homosexuality". I did however have a quick look at those two articles, and there is more salient information and, I believe, a better rationale for a homosexual interpretation. Perhaps those articles would be a better place to discuss the issue, rather than taking up several paragraphs on this article and risk giving undue weight to the entire notion.
:::The material I objected to and removed specifically was based on a weasel term ("'''some''' contemporary interpretations") - with a single solitary example provided by Rebecca Alpert, who is, frankly, on the looney tunes end of scholarly opinion. I am unhappy with the inclusion of ideologically-motivated fringe interpretations without further analysis.

{{tqred|absolutely no original Hebrew Scrolls exist to back up this era}} is [[moving the goalposts]]. [[User:tgeorgescu|tgeorgescu]] ([[User talk:tgeorgescu|talk]]) 22:19, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
:Not sure what you're trying to say, but there are no holograph manuscripts of any book of the Bible... [[User:AnonMoos|AnonMoos]] ([[User talk:AnonMoos|talk]]) 10:49, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
== Perhaps the Book of Ruth was written by a woman ==
I find it surprising that in Chapter 3 the author go at length describing what Ruth need to do to lure Boaz especially verse 3. Women have been using those tactics since and who knows how much prior. As I read this Chapter I asked myself why are these words necessary to be included? For me, if I allow my sexist view that the author to be female, then such details would be expected.

:[[Shaye J. D. Cohen]], [https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-topics/hebrew-bible/free-hebrew-bible-course-with-shaye-cohen/ here] (I don't remember which lesson), considers unlikely that any woman was involved in writing the Bible.
