This commentary looks at Ruth from all sides so the reader has a much better understanding of the book. It is written in a very readable style, and contains information that will be of interest to the new Christian as well as the serious Bible College student. Included with the commentary chapters are chapters on the history of Moab; the history of the Judges; a look at our Redeemer; and a look at literature, music and films about Ruth. The reader will also find extensive charts, maps, and other helps throughout the book as well as an annotated bibliography, and a verse by verse study of the book of Ruth. The role of the Redeemer in Ruth gives us insight into the role of Jesus as our redeemer. This second edition has been updated by using the Modern English Version for Biblical quotes, as well as adding new information.
