A Sample Biblical Narrative: The Story of Ruth
We begin sampling a biblical narrative by reading the Book of Ruth. I have chosen it because it is short (just four chapters), it is about migrant women (and therefore very timely), and it is just the kind of story that can raise a lot of discussions (this will become obvious as we proceed). The article is divided into three parts. The first part presents a brief outline of the Book of Ruth. The second part explains some customs and ideas found in the story that may appear strange to the reader. The third part offers some tips for reading the narrative.

12. The Atonement
A look at the Scriptural teaching of our atonement through the blood of Christ. The sad part isn't that Christ only died "for the elect," as some believe, but that he actually died and his blood pays for all sins! Thus, the sad truth is that unbelievers go to hell even though their sins are paid for--condemned because they did not make this sacrifice of our Lord as their own payment for their sins!
