Description / Abstract
This study sees Ruth as the redeemer in the book of Ruth and reads Ruth in the perspective of Philippine-Babaylanism. The purpose of doing this is to provide a Philippine contextualized reading of Ruth. First, the study explores Philippine Babaylanism. The two principal characteristics of Babaylans that emerge from this study are Babaylans as Healers and Babaylans as Redeemers. These two characteristics connect well to the story of Ruth. The study sees Ruth to be analogous to the Babaylans in two aspects: (1) in healing for Naomi and for Boaz and (2) in redeeming of the house of Elimelech and Israel. In this perspective, Ruth seems to be the most important character in the book of Ruth since she healed Naomi’s childlessness and Boaz’s passivity and redeemed Elimelech’s hurting and dying family line—and Israel as a whole. Although there are many differences, the similarities demonstrate that reading the book of Ruth in the perspective of Philippine-Babaylanism is a worthwhile strategy.
