Free Guided Study of the Book of Ruth

This book sets up a practice study of the Old Testament book of Ruth — a short book of only 4 chapters, and one of the most fascinating studies for believers today because it contains the most comprehensive discussion of the Kinsman Redeemer requirements that Jesus had to satisfy.

The guided study runs over seven weekly sessions. Each session is delivered through a structured workbook assignment, augmented by emails containing the author’s personal study notes for comparison.

• Session One: Getting Ready — Organizing yourself and setting up your tools.
• Session Two: Introduction to Ruth — Reviewing the whole book and gaining context.
• Session Three: Ruth Chapter 1 — An in-depth study of Chapter 1.
• Session Four: Ruth Chapter 2 — An in-depth study of Chapter 2.
• Session Five: Ruth Chapter 3 — An in-depth study of Chapter 3.
• Session Six: Ruth Chapter 4 — An in-depth study of the final Chapter.
• Session Seven: Wrap Up — A complete review and summary of the study of Ruth.
