This very readable book includes personal anecdotes, theological reflection, and exegetical insight based on the original language used in Scripture to refer to God's emotions. The application of God's emotions to the people of God exemplifies the pastoral side of biblical studies, and this from someone who does it so well.”
Women
“WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT THE GOSPEL OF RUTH? In her gutsy profile of biblical Ruth, Carolyn Custis James challenges old religious mind-sets about gender, how God uses women, and how men should respond to the Holy Spirit’s work in women. The Gospel of Ruth is one of the richest and most insightful books I’ve ever read about any woman in the Bible. Carolyn is to be commended for making such a valuable contribution to biblical theology. J. Lee Grady Author of 10 Lies the Church Tells Women Writing in an engaging and winsome style, Carolyn Custis James considers the intriguing question, “Is God good for women?” through an in-depth study of the book of Ruth. Women who want to live for Christ will appreciate her critique of the biblical concept of submission in light of the gospel. But don’t leave the men out! They, too, will better understand what it means to be a Christian man through her solidly Christian discussion of male-female relationships in Christ.”
