Ruth

Loss, Love and Redemption

Author: Rose Publishing

Product code: BT114

The story of Ruth is a tale of love illustrating God’s unfailing love, loyalty, and faithfulness to His people. This covers each portion of the book’s significance allowing you to gain fresh insights through it’s cultural and historical background.

Discover how politics, economics, and geography affected these Biblical people:

  • Why did Naomi’s husband move to Moab in the first place?
  • Why didn’t the Israelites get along with the Moabites? 

It also explains the significance of the traditions at that time: 

  • Once Naomi’s husband and sons died she had a social status lower than a slave
  • Ruth took home more than 10 times the average salary of harvesters when she worked in Boaz’s field
  • When Ruth asked Boaz to "spread the corner of [his] garment" over her, she is asking him to make a symbolic gesture for marriage

Find out the Hebrew meaning of key names, words, and phrases:

  • Naomi [which means "pleasant"] changes her name to "Mara" [which means bitter]
  • Both Boaz and Ruth are praised for showing "Hesed," a type of love that suggests taking loyalty, commitment, and compassion a step beyond what is simply required

Even though Ruth wasn’t an Israelite, she was called by God to something much greater than anyone expected: one of only five women listed as an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Her story is a reminder to us all of God’s unfailing love, faithfulness and guidance.
