Ruth
Ruth provides an important link in the unfolding messianic
genealogy. It emphasizes the sovereign activity of the LORD GOD's
provisions in the affairs of His People. Ruth shows that the LORD
GOD's promise to the seed of Abraham carries on through the troubled
time of the judges, as well as moving events toward the salvation of
Gentiles. Historically, this book provides information to the customs
that surrounded the time period of Judges. It also provides a
great role modeling for Christian women, and gives instruction in
practical living. The author of this book is not known, although Samuel
is one of the most prominent that is suggested as author.
