This is the best technical commentary on the book of Ruth I would recommend. If you read the book of Ruth in the Bible it is only four chapters and yet this commentary is 271 pages long (308 pages if you go by what the publishers say), filled with insights properly extrapolated from God’s Word that is exegetical in nature; that is, it is filled with grammatical and syntactical observation from the Hebrew text along with word study and exploration of a passage’s intertextuality. An aspect of this commentary that makes it unique is the author’s use of discourse analysis. There are many things readers will learn from God’s Word here and I was blown away with what I discover in this book that led me to worship God and Christ more! While I have in the past enjoyed other titles in the Zondervan Old Testament Exegetical Commentary Series this one would be one that I would highly recommend.

Are you looking for a book that looks at the doctrines of God in regards to the absoluteness of His being? This book is helpful and the author James Dolezal has done a great service writing this for the church today, especially since some of the attributes of God that have been denied, downplayed and dangerously modified. Dolezal also managed to present a biblical and historical view on God and answers contemporary objections of some of the hardest attributes of God, within the short space of 176 pages! Yet thin as it was this book took me three months to finish as I was slowly working through it carefully and reflectively.
