Ruth Overview (Part 2)
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview of the book of Ruth, Steve Gregg highlights its relevance for Christian theology. The inclusion of Gentile women in Jesus' genealogy challenges the idea of Jewish exclusivity and illustrates God's acceptance of non-Jewish individuals in Israel. Boaz, the kinsman redeemer in the book, is seen as a significant type of Christ who restores lost inheritance and redeems the childless widow. Moreover, the book foreshadows important themes in Christian theology, providing valuable insights for Christians.
