Ruth.1

This book is called Ruth, from the name of the person whose history is here recorded: who, being a Gentile, became a convert to the true faith, and marrying Booz, the great-grandfather of David, was one of those from whom Christ sprung according to the flesh, and an illustrious figure of the Gentile church. It is thought this book was written by the prophet Samuel. (For more information, see the article [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13276a.htm RUTH] in the Catholic Encyclopedia.)[http://www.newadvent.org/bible/rut000.htm]
