This quarter the book of Ruth tracks for us the fortunes of two refugee women in the Middle East of the Old Testament. Naomi and Ruth find a way to live again because the community takes them in – initially as an act of obedience to God’s Law, but later an act of love. Ruth is honoured as the great-grandmother of King David, of whose line comes Jesus. Grace comes from disgrace. In Genesis, Jacob steals the inheritance of his elder brother Esau. But, once again, grace comes from disgrace since, many generations on, Jesus comes of Jacob’s line. Features: Song of Songs Acts Genesis Mark Judges Hebrews Habbakuk Obadiah Ruth John's 3 Letters Jude
