After reading the book of Ruth and reading the article in the NDBT, write a 1 page (single-spaced) theological overview of the book of Ruth.
One of the principal elements of engaging in the discipline of biblical theology is taking a book or corpora of the Bible and answering questions along the lines of: what is the overall point of this book? What are its major themes? How does this book fit into the overall story of Scripture? How does this book point us to Jesus and the finished work on the cross? What should I do in my life because of this book? How do I apply this book to my life as a believer? Biblical theology is ultimately about Christ and His mission.
Three elements should be present in your theological overview:
• The major themes in the book of Ruth
• How these ideas can be put into practice in your personal life
• How these ideas point us to Jesus and His mission for His church
The Book of Ruth is an intricately woven, magnificently crafted story. It is the work of a person standing in the mid-stream of Israelite life and thought, a person wishing to communicate to his audience things very close to the heart of the Old Testament. Ruth shows how God is at work in the day to day activities of average people. All the characters face life’s normal challenges (death, moving, lack of financial resources, familial responsibilities, etc.) and find God is weaving a story of redemption out of all the details.
The articles chosen for this research were very helpful and profound. The articles explained how dyslexia works and how it functions differently in all students. The first article used was named Learning Disabilities by Max Wiznitzer and Debora L. Scheffel. This article stated the different learning disabilities involving students. They are present from birth or early childhood, neurologically based, and impact on the ability to learn or process information. Later on in the article it stated how Dyslexia was 80% of the disabilities that children had today. At the end of the article it stated how you can find out if your child has Dyslexia. The physician is the first professional approached by the family with concerns regarding developmental functioning. The purpose of this visit should include problems that the physician may have seen in your child. After he or she should refer you academic testing or any methods of teaching to help your child. Neurologic Examination of the School-age and Adolescent Child was an article that pertained to helping to better understand how Dyslexia comes about. The neurologic examination is a very versatile diagnostic instrument when determining Dyslexia. When using it one should detect localizing and lateralizing signs of nervous system abnormalities, and determine reliably the maturational level of cognitive, emotional, and motor capacities, as well as physical growth and development. Standardized test are usually helpful to analyze age appropriate specific hearing and visual loss problems found on the neurologic evaluation; to evaluate nerve and muscle functions further; or to quantitatively characterize developmental language disorders or dyslexia. Results were found an article called Quality of phonological representations, verbal learning, and phoneme awareness in dyslexic and normal readers, the article stated that results pre-test measures are displayed in two different groups. The two groups differed significantly on the measure of non-word decoding even though they matched closely on silent word decoding. In high school it gets even harder for students who have Dyslexia. Most of them become shy and even withdrawn from others while trying to finish their career in high school; sometimes even end up being put in special education. The article named Visual skills of poor readers in high school shows how some students in California were suffering in high school from being Dyslexic. Visual skills and visual acuity were measured in 461 students (average age 15.4 years) in 4 California high schools within the same school district. Participating st
