Summary: one of the ways to understand redemption is with the idea of purchasing from bondage, which is what we see in Boaz’s actions here. As people bought by God, we begin to understand and experience true belonging.
Set in the fields of God’s unfailing love and eternal purposes, Ruth takes us through heights and depths of the human drama. With God an ever-present guide, we follow one family’s journey through loss into hope and onto redemption. Along the way, there is grief, radical love, community, surprising grace, and redemption. The ultimate redemption rises beyond even what Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz can imagine, as the story culminates in the coming of God’s promised Messiah.
