Love Ignores Barriers -
Ruth and Race

Mrs. Jeba Regis P J., M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. Research Scholar

Abstract

The story of Ruth is an ancient one -- about a woman destined by the Creator, to remain with her mother-in-law -- an adieu, to the 'pilgrim's' journey to the heavens. The relationship of Ruth and her widowed mother-in-law is a remarkable study. Similarly Ruth had lovingly given up her biological family for the sake of knowing, as critics aver, a personal God who gives "every good gift and every perfect gift" (James 1.17) for His children. The “strange” tendency to help another when one is in need of help is possible only through divine guidance. The Creator loves these people. Ruth is one of the women in the genealogical lineage of Jesus Christ's ancestry.

Ruth Is Not a Jew

Ruth is an ordinary girl of the country of Moab. The story of Ruth produced by Samuel G Engel visualises Ruth as a child given to the camadarie of children to the place of child sacrifice. Ruth's parents, as the visual depiction and portrait shows, were poor. It was a heart wrenching scene. The child called back her father a few times and clung on to him. They were called to be observed -- Ruth the most beautiful of them all. Ruth was chosen to be a special sacrifice -- to be burnt on the altar of a pagan god for a ritual. Apart from the Moab ceremony of selection, the Israelite God Yahweh had a greater purpose for Ruth. The fact that the book of Ruth is included in the Holy Bible, and that too, considering the pagan origin of the girl Ruth, is indeed a resplendent observation. A child of Moab origin is destined to be numbered alongside the great characters of the book, the Holy Bible. It is indeed heart-warming for readers of different identities and culture.
