Ruth, The Romance of Redemption

Plot

The story of Ruth, the gentile maid from Moab, is a powerful and passionate portrayal of pure love--the devoted love of Ruth for her Hebrew mother-in-law Naomi, the romantic love between Ruth and Boaz, and the redemptive love of God. J. Vernon McGee's simple, direct style gives the central characters in the nearly three-thousand-year-old drama a timely relevance for today's reader. His vigorous yet warm approach reveals how love is the primary motivation and attitude of redemption. McGee's treatment of the Book of Ruth is an engaging narrative and examination of redemption and love as they were codified by law, then perfected by grace. --provided by publisher.
