Ruth
The introduction below is from
Chuck Smith's Old Testament Study Guide,
available from all good Christian bookshops (contact
DCF
for details):
The story of
Ruth is an appendix to the book of Judges, and occurred when
the Judges were ruling over Israel. It was a time of
spiritual confusion, apostasy, and moral declension. Yet, in
the midst of it all, God was working out His plan in those
hearts and lives that were open to Him.
The book of
Ruth gives insight to how God works His purposes on the
earth, even under adverse circumstances. It shows us the
heart of God, as He desires to reach the whole world, not
just the Jewish people.
We see the
introduction of the kinsman-redeemer, where a close relative
could take over the right of inheritance and redeem it when
the heir was unable. We see this love story serving as a
bright light in a dark time – God preparing a family through
which He could reach out His love for the world to redeem us
to Himself..
