The book is a remarkable piece of theological art that encourages us to ponder on how God is involved in our everyday struggles and happiness. The story is centred around three main characters: Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz, whose lives are portrayed beautifully in four chapters. In Chapter One, we encounter an Israelite family in Bethlehem struggling to survive a famine. After the death of the father and the sons, Naomi and her new daughters-in-law Ruth and Orpa are left alone. Naomi decides to return home to Israel, and despite her urging to stay behind, Ruth chooses to accompany her. Chapter Two opens with Naomi and Ruth seeking food during the barley harvest, and Ruth ends up picking grain in Boaz’s field. Boaz is impressed with Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi and shows her generosity in accordance with the Torah’s commandments. In Chapter Three, Ruth reveals her interest in marrying Boaz to Naomi, who develops hope for her family’s future. Boaz and Ruth marry legally in Chapter Four, and Boaz becomes a redeemer for Naomi’s family. The story concludes with the birth of a new son to Ruth, bringing joy to Naomi and restoring the family’s losses. The story is beautifully designed, with each chapter beginning with Naomi and Ruth making a plan for their future, followed by a providential meeting between Ruth and Boaz, and ending with Naomi and Ruth rejoicing at what’s taken place. The symmetry between the opening and closing events emphasizes the design of the internal chapters.
