Surely there is a future A commentary on the book of Ruth

Hamlin, E. John

Surely there is a future A commentary on the book of Ruth E. John Hamlin - Michigan, U.S.A William B. Eerdmans 1996 - 82tr. Paperback 21cm

The book of Ruth, set in the period of the judges, is a beautiful story of the love, covenant loyalty, and daring initiative of two impoverished widows. Together with a generous open-hearted man, they demonstrate the truth of Proverbs 23:18 that applies to individuals, families, communities, and nations: `Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.` In this excellent commentary E. John Hamlin approaches the book of Ruth as literature, as history, as part of the canon, and as truth-telling story.
