The book of Judges presents Israel's frailty, the nation's need for deliverance, and God's use of flawed leaders to guide his chosen people through a dark period of their history. The book of Ruth tells a smaller story within this narrative, showing God quietly at work in the lives of a few individuals. Mary Evans's commentary places each book in its historical and canonical context, examines key theological themes and addresses issues facing twenty-first-century readers.
Part of the Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries series designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means.
