The Book of Ruth is a tale of charm and delight, providing a
contrast to the concurrent anarchy depicted in the book of Judges.
Telling the simple story of a family who are struck by tragedy, but
experience love and acceptance in unexpected ways, in Ruth's
narrative we are clearly shown God's guiding hand as everything
endured leads to the births of both King David and, finally, Jesus
Christ. David Atkinson illuminates The Message of Ruth in this
encouraging and thoughtful commentary, showing us how theologically
the story of Ruth is a story about God's providence. From Naomi and
Ruth herself to Boaz, he guides us through the narrative and
explores how each character fits into God's purposes for history
and what that means for us living as Christians today. A revised
edition in the much-loved Bible Speaks Today series of
commentaries, The Message of Ruth offers a thorough, readable
exposition of both the Biblical text and what it can teach modern
Christians. Used by Bible students and teachers around the world,
the Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for students and
preachers who are looking to broaden their knowledge and
understanding of Scripture and its continued relevance in the
twenty-first century. This beautifully redesigned edition has been
sensitively updated to include modern references and use the NIV
Bible text. The Message of Ruth will be helpful for anyone looking
for accessible commentaries on Ruth that explore it more deeply,
considering its meaning both for its original audience and for
Christians reading it today.
