[edit] Summary
Connie tells Courtney and Jenny the story of Ruth and how she was so faithful to God that she became the great-grandmother of King David.
[edit] Plot
Courtney and Jenny haven't been attending Connie's Bible study lately, and Connie wants to know why. The girls tell her that the Bible seems to be full of exciting, action-filled adventures about men, but hardly anything about women. So Connie narrates one of the greatest and most romantic stories ever written: She tells the biblical story of a young maiden named Ruth, and how her loyalty to her mother-in-law and her love for the Lord God made her the great-grandmother of King David and a part of the lineage of the king of kings, Jesus.
[edit] Discussion Questions
- Why did Elimelech feel like he had to move?
- Why did some people think it was so bad for Elimelech to move to Moab? Why was Elimelech sorry he moved there?
- Elimelech didn't want to allow Oren to take care of his land. Why not?
[edit] Cast
[edit] Notes
- One of the places the writer took some creative license with the story was Elimelech's death. It was alluded that he died because of how he joined with the Moabites. In Ruth chapter 1, no cause--physical or otherwise--is given for his death.
- The title of this episode was referenced from the 1994 movie Four Weddings and a Funeral.
