Arthur Cundall and Leon Morris join forces in this introduction and commentary to the books of
fudges and Ruth. Arthur E. Cundall, lecturer in Old Testament, London Bible College, expounds and comments on fudges in a clear, straightforward style, giving a good overall perspective to the book's varied contents. In the introduction he discusses the place of the book in the canon, its composition, structure and date, taking into account pertinent archaeological evidence. He also discusses briefly the political, religious and moral questions raised by the book. Canon Leon Morris, principal of Ridley College, Melbourne, follows the same pattern for Ruth. His introduction and commentary will appeal to both specialist and general reader as he discusses the problems of the book, showing the light shed on it by recent archaeological research. In particular he brings out forcibly the book's present relevance.
