Summary of Ruth 2
Ruth chapter 2 continues the unfolding story of Ruth, written by Anonymous (possibly Samuel) (c. 1011-931 BC). To grasp this chapter, read it slowly in context, watch what it reveals about God, and trace how it connects to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Key takeaway
Ruth 2 invites us to know God better and respond in faith. As you read, ask: What does this passage say about who God is, who I am, and what I'm called to do?
How Ruth 2 fits the whole book
Ruth, a Moabite widow, finds refuge under the wings of Yahweh through Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer — foreshadowing Christ. Chapter 2 of Ruth contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
