Ruth 4:13
From Reconciling understandings of Scripture and Science
Jump to navigationJump to search
13So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
On a hyper-literal reading, God plays some active part in Ruth's conception. Similarly, in Exodus 23:26 God promises to play a part in the successful pregnancy of livestock. Are these verses relevant to how we should understand so-called Theistic Evolution? — compare Theistic Embryology and the chain of verses referenced there.
