DESCRIPTION

In this commentary James McKeown approaches the book of Ruth as part of the whole canon of Scripture, exploring not only the content of the book itself but also its relationship to other biblical books. He shows in particular, how Ruth overflows with allusions to Genesis. The themes of "blessing", "seed" and "land" are common of both books, and studying Genesis and Ruth together provides profound insights into the providential working of God to fulfill the promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
