Gleanings from the Book of Ruth is not a commentary on the Book of Ruth in the traditional sense but, rather, a summary of a lifetime's work studying this lovely story from the Word of God. The work is presented as a variety of "gems"; hence it is titled "gleanings" rather than "a commentary." It is a collection of jewels that will enrich the lives of those who love the Lord, rather than a systematic analysis of the book. This publication will appeal to those believers who enjoy daily manna from the Word-small portions at a time-and who like to pick up a book at any page and enjoy the thoughts just as they are. It is the hope of the writer that the material, which is presented without embellishment, be available for others to develop and use to feed the people of God. These are the "bare bones" for others to "flesh out" according to their needs and exercise. To that end, most scripture quotations are referenced. Sunday School teachers, in particular, will find this material valuable.

The biblical story of Ruth celebrates the power to begin life anew, to gather what has been scattered, to glean what one needs. In this original approach to understanding an ancient love story, Jennifer L. Koosed crafts a multifaceted portrait of the Old Testament character of Ruth and of the demanding agricultural world in which her story unfolds. Highlighting the most complex aspects of the book—the relationships Ruth has with her mother-in-law, Naomi; sister-in-law, Orpah; future husband, Boaz; and infant son, Obed—Koosed explores the use of pairings to define Ruth's aspirational fortitude. Koosed also touches on the narrative's questions of sexuality, kinship, and law as well as the metaphoric activities of harvest that serve to advance the plot and illuminate the social and geographic context of Ruth's tale. From the private world of women to the public world of men, Koosed guides readers through the book of Ruth's revealing glimpses into the sociology of the ancient Hebrew world. The study concludes with a discussion of the postbiblical fascination with Ruth and her later representations in a variety of literary and visual media. Koosed's approach is eclectic, employing a host of methodologies from philology and theology to literature, folklore, and feminism. Thoughtful of the interests of both scholarly and lay audiences, Koosed presents inviting and compelling new insights into one of the Old Testament's most enigmatic characters.

This book will bridge the gap between the Old and New Testament for some people. It is a spiritual review of the Book of Ruth. It is a book that will give you the setting in which the Book of Ruth takes place. It is filled with adventure, loss and sorrow, and hope through a kinsman-redeemer. This is a story about a mighty man of wealth who marries a poor, little Moabitess who was cast out, who has nothing, but became something. It is a story that reminds us of our own life before we came to know Christ, who, by the way, is our kinsman-redeemer.

In this beautiful book best-selling author Joan Chittister and celebrated artist John August Swanson together reclaim the ancient story of Ruth as a model for contemporary women seeking a fully spiritual life. In concert with Swanson's rich and evocative art, Chittister's graceful prose explores, through this powerful biblical story, a series of twelve defining moments in every woman's life — moments of loss, change, transformation, aging, independence, respect, recognition, insight, empowerment, selfdefinition, invisibility, and fulfillment. A lovely blend of art and text, The Story of Ruth offers inspiration for women seeking wholeness and presents compelling devotional images for eyes and mind alike.
