Welcome to our study of the book of Ruth!

We're going to continue our study in the Old Testament, continuing from the book of Judges, with a study in Ruth. This seems to be a largely chronological continuation.

This study will allow us to continue the story that we began in Genesis, and continued to follow through Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua and most recently, Judges. I hope that studying these passages will help us continue to develop a sense of the history and chronology of the Old Testament. Additionally, many of these events are referenced in the rest of the Bible. So studying these stories will (hopefully) continue to help us to better understand God's relationship with His original chosen people, the Israelites. Since the Christain church has inherited this relationship, it's important for us today to understand the original one! Many of these stories are highly entertaining as well as spiritually valuable, so I hope you will enjoy this study.

I will list both the worksheets for the study and samples of possible completed worksheets. There are plenty of different correct answers, and we could always be wrong, so don't take them as definitive! Note also that we have made heavy use of the Seventh-day Adventist Bible commentaries and the works of Ellen White (particularly Patriarchs and Prophets and Prophets and Kings) in these responses.
