Bible Question: Can you tell me who wrote the book of Ruth and the time frame in which it was written and also what time frame does it cover? Thanks |
Bible Answer: According to Talmudic tradition Samuel wrote the book of Ruth but the book contains no clue as to who truly wrote it. The favored opiniion is that it was written between the tenth to the eighth century BC during the period of the Monarchy. However one source (Life Application Bible) put it between 1375-1050 BC. |
