A Private Commentary on Ruth is an explanatory commentary. I ask the scriptures questions and listen to the answers, including reasonable answers to the difficult questions raised by the Epistle. Other commentaries from the Puritans to the present are consulted and used. The result is an in-depth explanation and discussion of each verse, idea, theme, and biblical truth met during the course of the exposition. The commentary was written for the the Bible study group leader, Sunday School teacher, local church Pastor, and Bible college student. The point of view is a conservative theology. Bible students who desire to understand and apply the scriptures are invited to study the book with me and come to their own conclusions.
