Summary/Abstract: The main hypothesis of this paper consists of the notion that the Book of Ruth is appealing for a new perception of “The Other”, in this particular case of Moabites as “The Other”. The term “Other” is used in a sense in which it is used in sociological research (identity studies) and this paper is trying to build a bridge between two realities. By building a positive image of the Moabites who are in most of the Bible the designated as The Enemy, the Book of Ruth is a valuable resource for studying the process of reevaluation of “the Other” and an appeal for a new experience of “The Other”.
