This is the most disappointing commentary I have read from this series. The commentary on Ruth 2 is nothing but eisegesis. I have never read a commentary that seeks to be more "politically correct" than this. Much of the chapter discusses the gender wage gap, inequality in the workforce, and how men should not display strength. Let me share one quote from the application section of this chapter: "In the world of women, he will need to be humble, compassionate, sensitive, safe, and appear powerless." I understand treating women with dignity and respect, but the last thing we need in our world are men who "appear powerless." We need strong men to lead their families, wives, and workplaces with strength and conviction. I recommend you stay away from this commentary.

I have to take issue with the Main Idea for chapter two. While I agree with the sentiments of the contemporary issue the author is attempting to address, it is not the main point of this text. Because the author chose to make the entire message focus on one contemporary point of application, his commentary misses many prevalent theological themes, including and especially how human choice and God's sovereignty work together. The author unfortunately also, thus, fails to discuss how chapter 2 contributes to the message of the book as a whole, which has much more to do with God's faithfulness to solve the problems described in Judges: the lack of a King to represent Him and human depravity than it does with exhorting Christians to be "change agents who strive for the equity of women in the world and especially in the workplace." Christians absolutely should be that, but at best, that's an application point of this passage (and a loose one at that); it is not what this passage is ultimately about.

Under "Key features" the first point says: "Explains and applies key passages of the Book of Romans ". I think it should say "of the books of Judges & Ruth", instead of "Romans".
