The Book of Ruth
The Book of Ruth, one of the only two books in The Holy Bible named after a woman, is quite unlike any other in the canon. It contains no miracles or divine interventions, but is rather a human tale of love, loyalty and redemption. In it, Ruth, a foreigner, insists on staying with Naomi after the death of her husbands and sons. “Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried.”
Ruth’s devotion earns the admiration of her landowner, who marries her and gives birth to the grandfather of King David.
The Book of Ruth stands out for its focus on the lives of ordinary individuals, particularly women, and its emphasis on kindness, loyalty, and the providence of God. It is presented here by the Audio Bible channel without music or drama, just a pure reading of the scripture as written, along with scrolling text for an engaging experience so you may read, study, and absorb.
Enjoy, and above all, may your life be filled with peace!
