Book of Ruth (New International Commentary on the Old Testament)


This book talks about marriage, relationship.
Ruth 1.1 - 4.22
This thorough commentary mines recent research to give the Book of
Ruth's literary, grammatical, and theological dimensions a rigorous
treatment. Hubbard pays particular attention to the skillful literary
devices and unique theological perspective of Ruth, using them to
propose a new date and purpose for the book. By affirming the story's
outcome as a divine providence, Hubbard says, the writer of Ruth sought
to counter opposition to the Davidic monarchy during Solomon's reign.
