Outlines on Ruth (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

A goldmine of good exegesis and practical applications for current living! Outlines on Ruth flows chronologically and systematically through the Bible book of Ruth. The story line is presented in light of the culture, customs and history of that day, but the emphasis is on the timeless messages which speak to all men of all ages. The outline format makes this book ideal for teaching or preaching, however every reader will both learn and be inspired by this great story of redemption.The 16 chapters in Dr. Hutson’s analysis and commentary on Ruth accentuate the great parallels between Boaz, the kinsman redeemer, and Jesus Christ the ultimate Redeemer. A large number of other parallels and analogies are also explored: Ruth the unworthy Moabite and all sinful men, the compassionate care of the lord of the harvest for his workers and the care of God for those who labor in His field, the restoration of unfaithful Naomi to her land and the restoration of her land to the nation of Israel and there are many others. This book deals with failure to deal with sin in one’s life and the lure of greener pastures. There are powerful and inescapable messages of repentance, of sin’s bitter and cruel consequences, of God’s expectation that all people work, of the impotence of the law and works to redeem sinners, of the power of faith and of the power of God to integrate unworthy outcasts into His eternal program. Symbolism abounds in Ruth. Names, customs and actions are filled with meanings which preach powerful messages. The language is sharp and crisp, speaking volumes in few words.This book will strengthen your faith and give you a far greater appreciation for the Word of God. It is informative and delightful. It is also short and easy to read or teach.
