'Bible (ASV) 08: Ruth' Summary
The Book of Ruth is a short but powerful story from the Hebrew Bible that tells the tale of a Moabite woman named Ruth who, after the death of her husband, chooses to remain loyal to her mother-in-law, Naomi, and returns with her to Bethlehem. There, she finds favor with Boaz, a wealthy landowner, who is bound by the levirate law to marry her. This story explores themes of loyalty, love, redemption, and the power of faith, and ultimately leads to the lineage of King David, a key figure in Hebrew history. It's considered one of the most beautiful and moving stories in the Bible.Book Details
