Book of Ruth Summary: A Complete Animated Overview

Watch our overview video on the book of Ruth, which breaks down the literary design of the book and its flow of thought. In Ruth, an Israelite family faces tragic loss, and God uses the faithfulness of a non-Israelite woman to bring restoration into the family of David.

Just read Ruth; which is only 4 chapters long, and it's a beautiful story. Learned that Ruth was Naomi's ("Mara"/Bitter) Mother-in-law. She had a legacy of honorable behavior. She worked with Boaz's handmaidens. Boaz, due to Ruth's honorable reputation, allowed her to work with his handmaidens and for his own servants to not shun/reproach/shame her for gleaning the heads of wheat. A bunch of other things. She honored her mother-in-law and honored that she should wait as Boaz was looking out for her.

My favorite part of this story is knowing that Boaz was the son of Rahab. Which explains why he was able to see Ruth as a faithful, beautiful woman even though she was a gentile, because his mom was too. It shows how God uses the weak and insignificant to shame the wise and does amazing things through people and situations we may never know about. God’s red thread of redemption at its core❤️

[@JH-dj8hd]

How about mentioning the awesome typology of the book of Ruth? Ruth is the gentile bride (representative of the Church), Naomi represents Israel, and Boaz as the kinsman redeemer represents the Messiah, full of grace... The role of the kinsman redeemer (Messiah) was, by grace and union, to restore the dead to (eternal) inheritance -- herein, namely Elimelech (Naomi's husband), and Mahlon (Ruth's dead husband, whose name, by no coincidence, means 'sickly', such as we are in the flesh before redemption). This restoration of inheritance is because the firstborn of Ruth and Boaz was to inherit and restore the name of Mahlon within Israel (that is what the Levirate law is about)... Boaz takes on the legal curse of marrying a gentile bride (Deut 23:3), as the Messiah took on our curse of sin... but this generational curse on Boaz was wiped clean for the future, as his offspring (Obed) would be the levirate heir of Ruth's first husband, not Boaz, thus he would not carry the curse to the 3 generations to David. Also, the nearer kinsman who wouldn't marry Ruth represents the law that could not/ would not provide for anyone's redemption and (eternal) inheritance... As in the book of Ruth, Israel is related to the Messiah, but it is the gentile bride who meets Him first and introduces Him to Israel who is yet to be redeemed -- when they call upon His name (Lev 26:40-42; 2 Chr 7:13-14; Jer 29:12-14; Jer 50:4-5,20; Hosea 5:15-6:3; Matt 23:37-39; and also referencing the purpose and outcome of the time of Jacob's trouble). And there is probably more besides! Halleluyah. God is awesome, and so poetic!

[@rachelnstephens]

JH Wonderful summation!

[@bobpolo2964]

Great analysis. I would like to study old testament connections to New testament scriptures with you.

[@JH-dj8hd]

Bob, that would be awesome... but I tend to live far away from everyone!! I'm not theologically trained, I'm just keen and love God and revere Him and His Word and His faithfulness... If only I was familiar with Biblical Hebrew and Greek, that would be cool. There are many teachers whose work is available in online videos who know lots about such things... These are the ones who know that nothing in the OT is arbitrary or 'just' a nice story. They know that every page of the Old Testament is a testament pointing forward to the yet future Messiah! I have just been learning from them! I encourage you greatly in your learning... it is sooo rewarding!

[@bobpolo2964]

JH I don't know if you're dismissing me or just humbly stepping aside. Anyway, I'm not going to turn into the HULK just yet. But biblically speaking, it's okay for children of God to share their learning with each other, like through email and things like that. There's some nuggets of information I could share as well from my journey with Christ. But you don't have to.

Dr TeeBird it is a Cultural thing, I would still rather be the one proposed to. Although many Eastern cultures have the woman’s family or the woman making the move. I would not say she “proposed” to Boaz in every sense of the word. She as a foreigner simply obeyed her mother-in-law.

That's interesting but that's quite the reach, I'm sure you could apply that logic to just about anything if you're going to use such unspecific symbolism. You also gotta' realize that this story was written post Babylonian exile, were talking most likely 800 years after its subject material. It's amazing how Christian's can take this stuff at face value.. if someone wrote a story about my life 800 years from now with little to no documentation of my life would you believe it? Then again, Christian's seem to throw logic out the window when it comes to the bible, we're talking people who think Adam and Even were literal people, 2 of every animal of a million different species got on a boat that flooded the earth, God suspended the sun in the sky for two days (stopped earth's rotations), earth is not centery of universe (heliocentric theory), the water and vegetation created before the earth had atmosphere, etc. -- anyways, the bible just defies logic, common sense, historicall/scientifically inaccurate, and anyone with reason and common sense in this modern age that reads the gist of it and doesn't see the constant holes in its logic is either indoctrinated and brainwashed or simply doesn't care enough to question their faith.

You cannot have the Truth without Ruth!

[@mickeynash5343]

The story of Ruth & Naomi is a daughter in laws example of how to love & honor her Mother in law. Everytime I am with my mother in law, I try to love her well, just as Ruth loved hers 💞 Thank you, Gospel Project, I always enjoy your overviews, as I teach Children's Ministry & you're a wonderful resource!

[@nathanhyratt1864]

Love what these videos and all that you guys are doing! Keep up the great work and spreading the message of Christ 😄 God bless!

[@sarahb2004]

I have been following along the Bible Project’s plan to read the Bible in a year. I am on day 77 and this has been my favorite story, by far! I wrote in my notes that I needed to find a way to be excited and motivated to read, as my excitement has been waning. This book has kick-started me back to where I need to be. I hope to be as noble as Ruth the rest of my days!

[@MeAgainstTheWorld]

Love these vids - they really help bring out the small details and things you might miss. Excellent.

[@doloresreid9862]

Praise the Lord for all of you who takes part in telling the Bible stories so true . It give me a better understanding of Gods word. Thank you 🙏🏾 continue the good work.

[@addysonletendre1263]
