Go beyond the familiar story and explore the historical context, literary patterns, biblical connections, theology, and redemptive truths woven throughout Ruth.
12 ready-to-use sessions give you the teaching, structure, and student materials you need to guide your group through a deeper study of Scripture.

Your group may already know Ruth as a story of loss, loyalty, love, and redemption. But beneath the familiar story are historical details, literary patterns, biblical connections, and theological truths that reveal something much greater.
The Ruth Course helps your group see not only what happens in Ruth, but what the book reveals about the God who is King, even when life doesn’t make sense.

The Ruth Course gives you the teaching and structure so you can focus on what only you can do: know your people, guide the conversation, and help them apply what they are learning.
More than six hours of in-depth teaching allows your group to learn together without requiring you to prepare and deliver every teaching session yourself.

Each lesson includes a student guide designed to help participants follow the teaching, engage with Scripture, take notes, make connections, and practice looking deeper into the biblical text.

Built-in questions help turn each lesson into conversation, giving your group opportunities to wrestle with what they’re discovering and connect biblical truth with everyday life.

I thought I knew the Book of Ruth.
Like many people, I had heard it taught as a familiar story of loss, loyalty, love, and redemption.
But when I began digging beneath the surface, I discovered layers I had never seen before.
Historical context, literary patterns, names, customs, Hebrew words, and connections across Scripture began revealing a much bigger story. And the deeper I went, the more I discovered that Ruth wasn’t simply teaching me about redemption.
That discovery changed the way I read Ruth and helped me recognize the hand of God in some of the seasons of my own life that I had struggled to understand.
I’ve taken that study and organized it into The Ruth Course so you don’t have to spend countless hours researching, building lessons, creating outlines, and trying to pull all of these pieces together yourself.
You can gather your group, open the Word together, and lead them through the historical context, literary patterns, biblical connections, theology, and practical truths woven throughout Ruth while the course provides the teaching and structure.

The goal isn’t simply for your group to finish Ruth knowing more facts.
As they move through the course, they’ll begin learning how to look more closely at Scripture for themselves.
They’ll practice asking questions such as:
Where does this fit in the larger biblical story?
You can use The Ruth Course with:
