Author: Peter HW Lau
Call number: 107 LAU
The biblical Book of Ruth is a story set in the violent times of the Judges. Yet it features such amazing themes as risk and kindness, God’s love and human action, and the saving role of substitutes.
This book reads the narrative of Ruth within its original background, and delights in the literary art of the story. But Dr Peter Lau also draws out these bigger themes, setting them within the broader context of the whole Bible in a simple, effective way anyone can understand.
As he demonstrates, the only way for Christians to interpret and apply an Old Testament narrative is ultimately through the lens of Jesus Christ.
