THE BOOK OF RUTH

The Book of Ruth is a captivating account of how a a Moabite woman, a Gentile, becomes an essential part of linking Jesus to the House of David as presented in the Gospel of Matthew, (Ch 1:1-17).

A 1960 movie, The Story of Ruth, presents this story of Ruth and adds considerable embellishment to keep movie goers' attention. I asked Google AI to compare and contrast the Bible vs. the Scripture, found a pertinent movie review, and did further research on Levirate Marriage.

I recommend the following:

1. Read the Book of Ruth

2. Read a good introduction. I recommend The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible (best) or the New American Bible.

3. Check out the Google AI compare and contrast research and the movie review

5. Read the research on Levirate Marriage.

6. Re-read the Book of Ruth.
