I am curious to explore more about what this understanding of the word head/kephale should mean for relationships in both the church and the home.

Jonah1 reflections
God Yahweh is Solid! His plans prevail. Nature is in his bidding. Nature can be an agent for testing.
Man's Free will. We see the characters exercising their choices and Yahweh giving justice to their choices.

Hyperlink to the Exodus?
Seems like there are several hyperlinks to the Exodus story. Am I reading these correctly?
- A Hebrew family moves to a foreign land to escape a famine (1:1 & Gen 42-50)
- Hebrew and non-Hebrew (Ruth and Naomi) leave an oppressive situation in a foreign land (1:3-7 & Ex. 12:37-38). Being a foreign widow without male family members in Moab is a pretty bleak situation.
- There is a pledge of loyalty to Yahweh (1:16-17 & Mt. Sinai Ex. 19-20)
- There is a journey to "the land" (1:22)
- The geography suggests that the journey from Moab to Bethlehem in Judah would have involved crossing the Jordan (1:22).
- Ruth gleaning grain from Boaz seems to echo the Israelites "gleaning" mana from Yahweh
- The whole story is framed as a redemption narrative (4:9-10)

Psalms and their Narrative
I was wondering if anyone had a book or some sort of resource on reading the Psalms in canonical order and the overarching narrative they tell? I remember hearing a BP podcast where Carissa spoke about how she studied this idea, and now after learning about the parallelism in the Psalms, I’m curious all over again:) Thanks for the help :)

What books are good for the history of the shape of the TaNaK?
I have a friend who wants to know that Jesus and the Jews of His time would've seen the TaNaK a containing essentially the same 39 books of our OT. Is there a good book you would recommend that showed how the canon took its shape prior to arrival of Christ, and that it did not include the apocrypha?
