"Where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your
people shall be my people, and your God my God." Ruth's response to
her mother-in-law Naomi demonstrated both Ruth's loyalty to her
family and her trust in God. The Reformers of the sixteenth century
found theological significance in such Old Testament narratives.
For example, German Lutheran pastor and theologian Johannes Brenz
perceived in her confession a foreshadowing of the gospel: "Ruth
the Moabitess is recorded in the genealogy of Christ, that it might
be made known that Christ belongs not only to the Jews but also to
the Gentiles." In this volume of the Reformation Commentary on
Scripture, N. Scott Amos guides readers through a wealth of early
modern commentary on the Old Testament books of Joshua, Judges, and
Ruth. Readers will hear from familiar voices and discover
lesser-known figures from a diversity of theological traditions,
including Lutherans, Reformed, Radicals, Anglicans and Roman
Catholics. Drawing upon a variety of resources-from commentaries
and sermons to treatises and confessions-much of which appears here
for the first time in English, this volume provides resources for
contemporary preachers, enables scholars to better understand the
depth and breadth of Reformation commentary, and seeks to encourage
all those who would, like Ruth, declare their allegiance to God.
