  2. Why does the nameless redeemer want the land but not Ruth?
  3. What is the significance of the repeated phrase, “to perpetuate the name of the dead”? At the end of this story, and now 3,000 years later, whose names have been perpetuated?
  4. Consider where Ruth has come from the beginning of the story to the end. How does this transformation compare with someone becoming a Christian and entering the church community?
  5. How has the Lord been active in this story? How does this story tie to the Christmas story?
