Esther &Ruth (Reformed Expository Commentary)
Does God help those who help themselves? That may seem to be the message of Esther and Ruth. Yet a closer reading shows a gracious and sovereign God at work, one who uses obviously flawed people—unable even to help themselves—to rescue his people and prepare for the coming of Christ.

I loved this expository commentary on these two books! Duguid does an excellent job of digging into the original Hebrew to bring the New Testament into the Old. These are two of the most well known and beloved stories in the Old Testament, and yet they are so so shallowly understood when we rip them out of the context of their time and cultures.
Mr. Duguid's insight on these two books are remarkable. I look forward to reading more books by him.
Excellent. I strongly recommend this expository commentary.

In my opinion it just doens't get much better than Duguid when it comes to preaching Christ from the Old Testament. I read this commentary as a companion to my daily bible reading and was regularly stirred to think and feel more deeply about Christ. Highly Recommend.
Only read Esther so far, will read Ruth later, but WOW! Both good at uncovering the hidden meanings, Hebrew etymology, and at talking to the reader on a personal level. Like a cross between a commentary and a devotional.
Wow! This commentary tells the stories of the books of Ruth and Esther in a way that shows the reader what the actual intent of the author was. It ties these old testament story books to the gospel. I loved it.
