Joshua Judges and Ruth (Westminster Bible Companion)

Who is God? How does God act in our lives? How are we to act as Gods faithful people? Joshua Judges and Ruth represent a chorus of voices reflecting on Israels earliest days in its land. In Joshua God empowers an obedient Israel to conquer the promised land. In Judges Israels faithlessness and Gods wrath lead to a downward spiral of sin subjugation and social disintegration. Ruth narrates a story of divine blessing worked out through human loyalty.Books in the Westminster Bible Companion series assist laity in their study of the Bible as a guide to Christian faith and practice.
