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 Kinsman-Redeemer--showing 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.
