THOTC: Ruth

THOTC: Ruth

An expressly theological reading of the biblical book of Ruth.

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 to 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.

In addition to his exegetical commentary on the text of Ruth, McKeown provides
useful background material on how the book has been interpreted throughout
history, including Jewish interpretation, and he focuses on Ruth's theology and
its application. His discussion also touches on such related topics as
universalism, feminist studies, and the missiological significance of the book
of Ruth.

The distinctive character of the Two Horizons series shines brightly here. " Whereas most commentaries focus on the first horizon (explaining the details of
the text), McKeown devotes fully one half of his exposition to conversations
about the theological implications of motifs and concepts raised by the
narrative of Ruth. His discussions of the relationship of this book to the rest
of the Scriptures (both Old and New Testament) and his reflections on its
enduring theology are without equal. This commentary should be required reading
for all who study and teach or preach the message of the book of Ruth. -
