Ruth 1:1-4:12

The book of Ruth is a narrative of a family that lived during the time of the judges. The setting starts with a famine that causes the family to move. Most likely the famine was a result of the unfaithfulness of Israel. This family falls upon hard times, as perhaps many families did during this time of unfaithfulness. The focus of the story, however, is on the kindness of Ruth and Boaz.
