Faith. Hope. Love.

With them, life flourishes; when we lose them, life feels unbearable. Where do we turn when everything falls apart, when purpose slips away and we doubt that God still cares?

David Gooding shows us the big picture of the book of Ruth-a story that centres on another woman. Naomi's world collapses with the loss of her husband and sons, and she feels that God himself is against her. Yet God quietly rebuilds her joy through Ruth, who leaves her own people to seek the God of Israel. There she finds a kinsman-redeemer who takes her as his bride and carries forward the line that would one day bring Jesus the Messiah into the world. Here is God's redemption, told in a true story that gently leads us back to secure our faith, hope and love in him.

The 'Seeing the Big Picture' series helps readers grasp the rich sweep of each book of the Bible-what it says, why it was written, and why it still matters today. Concise and engaging, each volume offers a clear view of the big themes and key truths that shape God's Word. Whether you're discovering the Bible's message for the first time or teaching it to others, come enjoy the big picture in a little frame.

Über den Autor
David W. Gooding (1925-2019) was Professor of Old Testament Greek at Queen's University, Belfast and a member of the Royal Irish Academy. He taught the Bible internationally and lectured on both its relevance to philosophy, world religions and daily lifeHe published scholarly studies on the Septuagint and Old Testament narratives, as well as expositions of Luke, John 13-17, Acts, Hebrews and the New Testament's Use of the Old [...] expositions of Scripture are enhanced by what F. F. Bruce once called David Gooding's 'rare combination of gifts: spiritual insight, classical learning and literary appreciation'. Yet his insights into the wisdom and love of God owe at least as much to his deep desire to know the Saviour he had trusted in his youth and whose word he has found, throughout his intellectual and personal life, to be true. His work continues to influence the public teaching and private ministries of men and women throughout the world, some well-known and many more unknown.
