    Digging Deeper
    How does God respond to situations of despair and hopelessness (famine,
    death)? See 1:6, 4:14-17.

    By Israelite standards, Ruth is a foreigner. In Ezra and Nehemiah,


    marriage to foreign women is banned because this marriage was thought to
    tempt others to worship other gods. How is this story in conversation with
    and challenge Ezra and Nehemiahs perspective?

    Who are people you view as the Israelites would have viewed Moabites?
    Where might God be at work breaking down racial and ethnic barriers for
    the sake of redeeming peoples and lands? What is the role of the church in
    this work?
