Thema: Soevereiniteit van God Type: Paperback Uitgeverij: Crossway Books ISBN: 9781433581786
In Sex, Race, and the Sovereignty of God, John Piper demonstrates the great relevance and unchanging realities of the book of Ruth by examining its overarching themes: the sovereignty of God, the sexual nature of humanity, and the gospel of God's mercy for the undeserving. This 3,000-year-old narrative about a poor widow in a foreign land speaks powerfully to contemporary Christians, and Piper's analysis addresses cultural issues including biblical expressions of manhood and womanhood, ethnic diversity and harmony, and God's mysterious purposes in suffering. Guiding readers through Naomi's loss, Ruth's relationship with Boaz, and their family's lineage to David, Piper explains key theological themes regarding providence, grace, and God's glory, showing how strategic righteousness, God's protection and care, and redemption and restoration meet in this ancient story of God's sovereign hand.
