Synopsis
This landmark commentary by Dr. Frederic Bush fills a void in Old Testament studies. Ruth and Esther are among the most neglected books in the canon of holy Scripture. None of the early Church fathers wrote a commentary on Esther, and the list of serious contemporary analyses of both Ruth and Esther is woefully short. So pastors and scholars alike will welcome Dr. Bush's thorough treatment of these intriguing texts to fill this exegetical gap.
