The Book of Ruth

Today I start a bible study of Ruth. I wonder what I might learn, it is not just a simple story of Ruth meeting Boaz. There is so much we learn about our Redeemer in this book.

Ruth is a beautiful pastoral story , one of two books in the Bible which the main character is a woman. This Moabite woman became in the genealogy of Jesus.

The author is unknown, it could be Samuel. The book of Ruth takes place in the time of the Judges, about 1322 B.C..

This is a journey that I look forward to.

So.....

Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled,....
