The Book of Ruth is one of the most beautiful and distinctive books of the Hebrew Bible. Through the story of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz, it speaks of loyalty, friendship, love, and the acceptance of others.

What makes this narrative particularly remarkable is that Ruth, a Moabite woman from a people often in conflict with Israel, became part of the Israelite community through her faithfulness, courage, and devotion. Her words to Naomi — "Where you go I will go…"— remain one of the Bible's most powerful expressions of loyalty and trust, making the Book of Ruth timeless in its message and enduring in its inspiration.

The Book of Ruth will be discussed by theologians Dr. Danijel Berković (Zagreb) and Dr. Aleksandar Apostolovski (Osijek).
