The story of Ruth and Boaz in the Bible is far more than a love story. In this episode, Kelly Anderson explores its deeper significance and the way it reveals a theology of Woman as vehicle of God’s blessing; a theology of married love as mutual self-giving that leads to joy and blessing; and its powerful message that God can bring light and life into the darkest situations.
