Ruth 1

Book Introduction - Ruth

Read first chapter of Ruth

This lovely story should be read in connection with the first half of Judges, as it presents a picture of life in Israel at that time.

Typically, the book may be taken as a foreview of the church (Ruth), as the Gentile bride of Christ, the Bethlehemite who is able to redeem. Ruth also gives a normal Christian experience:

  • Ruth deciding, 1
  • Ruth serving, 2.
  • Ruth resting, 3.
  • Ruth rewarded, 4.

The events recorded in Ruth cover a period of 10 years (Ussher) famine (See Scofield "GenesisĀ 12:10").
