The Message of the Book of Ruth, Part 1

35 min. This is the first of three special talks by Rev’d John Peck on the book of Ruth, recorded over a three-day period at the Greenbelt Arts Festival. In these talks, John opens up the multidimensional message of the book of Ruth as you’ve never heard it before, and you will find yourself in the presence of someone with an exceptional teaching ministry, not to mention his humor and ability as a storyteller.

In this first of the three talks, John turns our thoughts to the overlooked dimension of the art of the book of Ruth in relation to its religious context.

[In the second talk, he explores the book’s view of politics, government, and law. In the third talk, John opens up the characters’ view of social relations and economics.]
