Unceasing Kindness: A Biblical Theology of Ruth - eBook Author: Peter Lau Retail Price: $27.99 Our Price: $9.29 Save: 18.70 (66.81%) Availability: In Stock        The Old Testament book of Ruth is understandably a firm favorite in the church for small-group study and preaching: a heart-warming story of loyalty and love, a satisfying tale of a journey from famine to fullness. In the academy, the book has been a testing ground for a variety of hermeneutical approaches, and many different ways of interpreting it have been put forward. However, the single interpretative lens missing is the one that is most beneficial for the church: biblical theology. While commentaries have adopted a biblical-theological approach of one form or another, there has not been a detailed treatment of the themes in Ruth from that perspective. Unceasing Kindness: A Biblical Theology of Ruth, Lau and Goswell's valuable addition to the New Studies in Biblical Theology series, aims to fill this gap. They focus on the meaning of the text as intended by the author for the original readers, while remaining mindful that the book is set within the wider context of Scripture. This context includes its nearest Old Testament books ('nearest' both culturally and historically), as well as the context of the entire Christian canon. Second, they discuss selected themes in Ruth, including redemption, kingship, mission, kindness, wisdom, famine, and the hiddenness of God. Within the overarching narrative of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, these themes can be viewed as different threads within the same cloth, or can be heard as different instrumental 'voices' within a symphony. Some may be more dominant than others, but each theme contributes to, interacts with and makes an essential to the whole. About the Series Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead. Similar Items you may enjoy!
