Back to HomepageBIB509 : Ruth/Esther
Heralded for their literary value for centuries, both the books of Ruth and Esther are filled with intrigue, romance, and action similar to that of any modern-day screen play. Ruth is venerated as an elegant love story while Esther is a dramatic account of foiled plots and retribution. However, this is not their most rewarding feature. God's use of these two faithful and pivotal Old Testament women brings a new understanding of His faithfulness and the importance of our faithful participation.
