Featured Term (selected at random):
One of the protocanonical writings of the Old Testament, narrating the story of a Bethlehem family in the time of the Judges. Its heroine is Ruth, daughter-in-law of Naomi. Although Ruth is a Moabite, she marries Boaz, a Jew, and becomes the great-grandmother of King David, of whose family Christ was born. The purpose of the book was twofold: to preserve the edifying story of David's ancestry, and to witness to the practice of extraordinary filial piety, rewarded by God.

Great book.
I have recently done a study of this book myself. There are so many levels of understanding to it. Some old cultural practices are quite interesting, and I’m sure that while I understand some of them, I know I am missing others.
Thanks for posting this!
