Never Lose Hope: A Theology of the Book of Ruth
By Timothy W. Berrey
Ruth beams hope to a nation mired in hopelessness.
As Israel spirals downward into chaos, anarchy, and disunity, without the needed Godly leadership to right the nation on its feet, Ruth reveals that even during that very time of anarchy God was at work in surprising ways to provide that much-needed leadership through the house of David.
The story of Ruth is a timeless story of hope, as a redeeming God shows His sovereignty through surprising acts of kindness to bring hope out of hopelessness. The birth of Naomi’s “redeemer” not only delivers her, but will also provide the King through whom God will deliver Israel and--ultimately--the world.
