We live in a world marked by idolatry, violence, moral decline, and depravity —much like the days of Ruth. In this insightful and transformative course, the Instructor, Reverend Crystal Smith, provides profound insights on navigating such challenges with dignity, grace, unwavering faith, and faithfulness.

This course contains insights into the rich historical and cultural context of Ruth’s time—the period of the judges—which only expands our understanding of the book’s themes. This in-depth study of the Book of Ruth explores complex emotions—like grief, despair, and bitterness—that often result from enduring immense hardship and heartbreaking loss. Reverend Smith shares guidance on processing these emotions in ways that lead to hope and renewal.

The study also centers on redemption, providing actionable steps that can lead students to healing, wholeness, and restoration in an increasingly broken world.

Finally, this course includes an extensive examination of the context and setting for the events in the Book of Ruth, a thorough exegesis of the content, insights into the book's practical theology, and an overview of the types and shadows that appear in Ruth.

This study will build your faith and enhance your worship.
