The Books of Ruth & Esther: An Expositional Commentary, livre audio

This study explores two pivotal Old Testament women:Ruth is even venerated in secular literature classes as an elegant love story. It not only reveals the operation of certain laws of ancient Israel, but also a unique craftsmanship of prophetic typology unrivaled anywhere in Scripture.Esther is a dramatic account of foiled plots and retribution. With its confrontational climax, there would have been no rebuilding of Jerusalem, no Temple, no Messiah. Esther means “somethings hiddenâ€_x009d_! This the only Bible book in which the name of God, or other divine title, does not appear. Yet, God's name does appear in a number of places if one knows how and where to look!Both of these books, filled with all the intrigue, romance, and action of any modern-day screen play, have been heralded for their literary value for centuries. But this is not their most rewarding feature. God's use of these two faithful women brings a new understanding of God's faithfulness and the importance of our faithful participation.
