The book of Judges presents a miniature of the human race, its ups and
downs, its triumphs and its tragedies. It also presents a history of
God's sovereign intervention in the affairs of men. Yet within that
same enviroment of human failure and rebellion, there is the book of
Ruth, a portrait of the coming KinsmanRedeemershowing God's message
of redemption and love. This Everyman's Bible Commentary is based
upon the scriptural text as found in the New American Standard Bible.
