Duguid Author, Esther & Ruth (Reformed Expository Commentary) and Is Jesus in the Old Testament?

"If you are looking for a study that highlights the attributes of triumphant heroes of the faith for us to imitate, this is not it! But if you want to be overwhelmed by God's faithful grace in the dark times of the Judges and the difficult personal circumstances of Naomi and Ruth, you will find much to treasure in this book.--Iain M. Duguid, Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies, Grove City College, Grove City, Pennsylvania Sarah Ivill connects Ruth to Judges, allowing each book to enrich the other, and connects both of those books to the broad scope of redemptive history. She links individual texts to an abundance of Scriptural passages and to systematic theology, always pointing to Christ. And she pairs Ancient Near Eastern backgrounds with plenty of contemporary application. A helpful resource for anyone studying or leading a study on Judges or Ruth.--Elizabeth Groves, Lecturer in Old Testament, Westminster Seminary Sarah Ivill has done a masterful job unpacking the message and meaning of Judges and Ruth. As voices today define freedom as ""every man doing what is right in his own eyes,"" Sarah reveals God's words of warning and hope found in these books. Her examination of the text is thorough, and the study questions will deepen your understanding of the Word of God. In examining this dark time in the history of God's people, Sarah maintains a focus on the redemptive story woven through the biblical text. At the end, you, like Sarah, will be overwhelmed with God's grace.--Stephen T. Estock, PCA Committee Coordinator on Christian Education and Publications (CEP) With careful scholarship and sound exegesis, Sarah Ivill takes readers into the difficult realities of the book of Judges and the beautiful redemption of the book of Ruth so that they come away with a deeper understanding of, and a greater longing for our great Judge and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.--Nancy Guthrie, author of the Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Bible Study series"
