The book of Ruth is a mysterious and enigmatic part of the Old Testament - God seems absent, yet his people are rescued. Join Matthew Mason in discovering how, even when God seems absent, He still speaks through Scripture, in this new volume in the Hearing God's Voice commentary series. The Hearing God's Voice books are theological expositions of the Bible. That means we're reading each book of the Bible with our eyes on the Triune God and His works. The aim of each book in the series is: To present God's Word accurately and faithfully for us today To draw our gaze to God and His works in His Word To be readable! These aren't commentaries for scholars nor are they books of sermons. Our goal isn't simply to explain the text. Rather, in reading the Scriptures seriously, we want to lift our eyes to the God of Scripture, hear His voice, and gaze on His glory and grace.
