This is what differentiates the skeptical Literary scholar, from a mere scoffer. The scoffer assumes his frame is true and measures all things by it.

The recapitulation of ideas, told in various ways and manners, are the hints of the underlying fractal revelation of the cross. Each time the mystery is told, it builds on the imagery of the Messiah and the cross, like transparencies laid upon one another, each adding details as the picture is 'filled in'.

The example of Ruth and Boaz is a transparency to be laid on the picture painted by Abraham's record. We learn of incarnation and kingship of the Messiah through Abraham's call. this is a foundational layer. The story of Ruth builds on that with the imagery of the Redeemer Kinsman, which was not hinted at until Abraham rescues Lot. Some of the lines in Ruth's transparency, overlay that of Abraham and that of Lot.

Ruth is not so much being set up as a founding mother, but as the bride of Christ, redeemed by her husband. If we point the arrow of interpretation back at Ruth, it is in the wrong direction. It always points to Christ and the church.

Alter correctly, though perhaps accidentally, identifies that the literary elements are the very things that identify pattern in the text... and that pattern IS prophecy. The theologian misses this for the very reason that Alter identifies; he brings his own theology to impose it upon the text. If the scriptures are to be a mirror by which we measure ourselves, we must place our own dogmas aside to see what it would impose upon us. The literary elements are the indicators of truth which are useful to sort out the various claims in the modern Areopagus.
=p.15.1=
The modern emphasis to determine the original authors frame and intention is misplaced, since the literal-historical record is merely an example, given for training the flesh in righteousness. The meat of the scripture is in the mystery, revealing the very heart and mind of God. Religious practitioners are often left preaching 'self-help' sermons, leaving the knowledge of the heart of God to mysterious workings of the Spirit. But God said that we may know. <ref>[[Isa 43:10]] Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.</ref> The secrets of his heart are revealed through the literary devices discerned in the mystery.
