NICOT: The Book of Ruth

'In the Old Testament we read GodÉs word as it was spoken to his people Israel. Today, thousands of years later, we hear in these thirty-nine books his
inspired and authoritative message for us.' These twin convictions, shared by
all of the contributors to The New International Commentary on the Old
Testament, define the goal of this ambitious series of commentaries. For
those many modern readers who find the Old Testament to be strange and foreign
soil, the NICOT series serves as an authoritative guide bridging the cultural
gap between todayÉs world and the world of ancient Israel. Each NICOT volume
aims to help us hear GodÉs word as clearly as possible.
'This
commentary's introduction is extensive and profitable as it discusses issues of
unity, theology, canonicity, text and more. The commentary as a whole
demonstrates careful scholarship, a lively writing style, and balanced
judgment. Hubbard pays attention to all aspects of the book of Ruth. This
commentary is one of the very best of the series.' - Tremper
