Peter Lau and Greg Goswell … read Ruth in the context of its nearest Old Testament books (‘nearest’ both culturally and historically), and then in the context of the entire Christian canon. There can be little doubt that pastors committed to expository preaching and who choose to work their way through Ruth will gladly stand on the shoulders of Drs Lau and Goswell.  D. A. Carson
