Sex, Race, and the Sovereignty of God : Sweet and Bitter Providence in the Book of Ruth

John Piper Reveals Timeless Cultural Themes in the Old Testament Story of Ruth

Sex. Race. Scripture. Sovereignty. The book of Ruth doesn't shy away from addressing them all head on. Though it recounts events from 3,000 years ago, this ancient story of a poor widow seeking protection in a foreign land holds surprising relevance for Christians in the twenty-first century. In Sex, Race, and the Sovereignty of God (previously titled A Sweet and Bitter Providence), John Piper explores unchanging truths and inspiring hope in the life of Ruth.
