This book helped to understand Ruth. I liked the deeper understanding the application provided in the book. This book also helped with application questions.

For myself this is an excellent volume in the series. The chapters are well set up and the authors do you an almost verse by verse commentary and that does help explain some of the more obscure passages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2014
I purchased this Commentary as I am planning to do a sermon on Ruth, while skimming through it at the store it seemed like a good commentary as it was giving me applications to apply. When I got home and started to read through it I was taken back by reading that the Israelites were not allowed to marry Moabites, this is not in scripture The Moabites are descendants of Lot and distantly related Jews
After Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed Lot with is two daughters lived in the mountains and dwelled in caves. As there are no men around Lot's daughters conspired a plan. The eldest daughter Got Lot drunk with wine and had relations with him, the next night his youngest daughter did the same, both became pregnant, and had sons the eldest daughter named her son Moab.(Genesis 19:30-38) The Moabites were not permitted to go into the assembly. Moabites also worshiped the pagan god Chemosh
Ruth was a Moabite

When writing a commentary on a book of the Bible one needs to get the facts straight. Looks like Mr. Anders didn't read Gen 19:30-38.
My Broadman Commentaries didn't make that mistake.

I was planning to collect the old and new testaments of these commentaries but I doubt it.
This did teach me a lesson, read the commentary at the store first and know your scripture passage and its background and you my not be put on the wrong path.
