The Preacher's Commentary on the Book of Ruth: With Critical and Exegetical Notes

The preacher's commentary on the book of Ruth - is a work with critical and exegetical notes written by Walter Baxendale and published in 1882. The Book of Ruth stands apart from other books of Scripture and therefore may well deserve and require a separate and in some way special method of conversion. Neither doctrinal nor polemical, and it can hardly be called historical, it still possesses an infinite impressiveness that must always belong to human life, tried, tempted and, finally, triumphant. It seemed that in such a book, poets sometimes better capture its meaning, doctrine and spirit than theologians. It also had so much written on it and so well that while, like its own crop field, there is room for a lonely picker as well as many reapers, it can hardly be a waste of time to try in any way. To "tie into bundles" the precious grain that has been so abundantly provided. The present attempt is directed at all three important directions.
