Ruth: A Gentile and a Jew and the Lineage of the Greatest King of Israelite History-1

Douglas Batchelder

The Old Testament book of Ruth is not a love story describing Ruth's pursuit and capture of the heart of Boaz; rather, it is a story of God's activity in "His-story" that led to the greatest king of Israel's history. This webinar will discuss the wonderful story telling of the book of Ruth, the reasons it is incorrectly read as a love story, and how this literary work reveals the surprising hand of God in the history.
