In this interview, Mr. Dustin Messer speaks with co-author of a newly published commentary on Ruth. They discuss a host of questions pertaining to the content of Ruth, how to preach through Ruth, the role of application in Ruth’s story, and the influence of James B. Jordan in this Ruth project.

Brito says:

What we argue is that Ruth is actually a political tract making the case for the Davidic Kingdom…in other words, Ruth makes the case for why Israel needs a faithful King who will be strong like Boaz, loyal like Ruth, and whose fortunes will turn like Naomi’s.
