Title:
Phyllis Trible - "A Story of Radical Faith" (April 16, 1978)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 41:30. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 1:03:37.

  • Ruth and Naomi’s story is narrated as a scandalous, empowering narrative wherein two women, one a foreigner, choose each other, rather than men or patriarchal security, and by choosing to love and support one another subvert the script of homogenous, patriarchal power – even when that patriarchal power is levied to erase or re-narrate their agency; Trible says this story calls all listening to radical reinterpretation: to risk without the promise of safety, to seek our own redemption, and to challenge the status quo of patriarchy. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: The story ends, then, not with a return to the status quo of patriarchy but rather with women interpreting their own experiences and thereby creating a new beginning with men. Faith answers the fulfillment of life by radical reinterpretations.
