1 | NASB,Amplified version of Ruth | Ruth | Favor | 9337 | ||
I am just interested in all and any information the NASB and Amplified bible study forum has to offer. I have found this woman of God in the bible to be interesting. The whole chapter. | ||||||
2 | NASB,Amplified version of Ruth | Ruth | Hank | 9349 | ||
Two brief comments, Favor, on this lovely little book, the book of Ruth. Theologically, many see Boaz, the kinsman-redeemer, as a type of Christ. As literature this small book has been widely lauded as one of the supreme masterpieces of all time. Of similar literary excellence is the book of Job. For a wonderful reading experience, try reading Ruth and Job aloud from the King James Bible. --Hank | ||||||
3 | Hank your feelings on Ruth? | Ruth | EdB | 9352 | ||
Hank, you know its funny, I understand the Kinsman-redeemer relationship and can appreciate it but somehow seeing Boaz as a type of Christ has never set with me. I know many people hold to this, but I could never get it to square in my spirit. I see this more of a story of a righteous man and woman fulfilling the obligations that others placed on them. And as a reward for this righteousness God permitted them to take a place in the lineage of Jesus. What are your feelings on it? | ||||||

Ed, I've read this beautiful little book of Ruth many times, as I'm sure you have, and have always felt it says to me essentially what you in your post indicate it says to you. Honestly, while being aware that Boaz as a kinsman-redeemer was seen by some expositors as a type of Christ, I'd never given it more than passing thought. In a fairly recent series of messages on the book of Ruth, Adrian Rogers (lwf.org) made what I thought was a persuasive argument for this interpretation. Persuasive but not, to my mind, altogether conclusive. This is one of those issues on which, whether one feels that Boaz was or was not a type of Christ, I feel pressed to say, "You may be right." It has long been a concern with me the ease with which one can read more into Scripture than Scripture says. --Hank | ||||||
