2 FEB 2026 · In this conversation, Dr. Michelle Knight joins Dr. Lynn Cohick to talk about how to read the book of Ruth with careful hermeneutics rather than as a “Hallmark” love story. They explore the harsh realities of famine, displacement, and economic vulnerability in the days of the Judges and how these shape Naomi and Ruth’s choices. Dr. Knight also highlights Ruth’s boldness, loyalty (hesed), and agency, showing her as a model of discipleship and courageous faith, not a passive “damsel in distress.” They also dive into Boaz’s over-the-top care, the moral complexity of the nighttime threshing floor scene, and the way God restores Naomi’s hope and joy through ordinary, faithful people.
