Surely There is a Future: A Commentary on the Book of Ruth, المجلد 8Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 1996 - 82 من الصفحات This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Series: International Theological Commentary The book of Ruth, set in the period of the judges, is a beautiful story of the love, covenant loyalty, and daring initiative of two impoverished widows. Together with a generous open-hearted man, they demonstrate the truth of Proverbs 23:18 that applies to individuals, families, communities, and nations: "Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off." In this excellent commentary E. John Hamlin approaches the book of Ruth as literature, as history, as part of the canon, and as truth-telling story. |
