Mark Sweetnam examines the book of Ruth through the context of its preceding historical setting in Judges, focusing on the themes of divine providence, moral disorder, generational faithfulness, and the lineage of the coming king. He contrasts the prevailing chaos and self-will of the period of the judges with the orderly obedience found in Bethlehem, while addressing the significance of righteous choices, the reality of God's working behind ordinary means, and the ultimate hope found in the coming of the rightful King.
