ZECOT 08: Ruth

The King Is Coming.

The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament serves pastors and
teachers by providing them with a careful analysis and interpretation of the
biblical text, rooted in a study of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament and
intended to track the flow of the argument in each book and passage. Key
Features of the Series In our effort to serve pastors and teachers in their
study of the text of the Old Testament for ministry, Zondervan has developed a
set of distinctive features for this series. A Graphical Display of the Text of
Each Passage This visual thought flow" of the passage will enable the reader " to grasp quickly and accurately the main idea of the text, its development, and
supporting ideas. For readability, the graphical display will be done in the
commentatorÆs own English translation of the passage.

A few paragraphs of discussion following this display will seek to enable the
reader to understand how the commentator arrived at this depiction and
interpretation of the passage. Identification and Discussion of the Main Idea
of Each Passage Special emphasis will be placed on identifying and discussing
the main thrust of each passage and showing how it contributes to the
development of the whole composition. The main idea will be illustrated in the
graphical display, discussed in the introduction to the passage, and reflected
upon in the Theological and Canonical Significance section of the commentary.

Help in Drawing Out the Meaning of the Hebrew for Interpretation The goal of
this exegetical commentary series will be to draw on Hebrew grammar in the
service of meaning. Hebrew will not be discussed for the sake of better
understanding Hebrew alone. Whenever a Hebrew construction affects the
interpretation of the text, this feature will be discussed and explained.
Theological and Canonical Significance This portion of the commentary will
focus on providing a theological and applicational discussion of the main
thrust of the passage. This section will build the theological discussion on
the exegesis of the text by synthesizing the theology of the passage and
elaborating on it.
