S 114 Redeeming Eros: Reading the Song of Songs (2010)

£2.77
Interpretations of the Song of Songs appear divided between the literal/sexual readings and spiritual/mystical readings. But this division is a sign of our own divided understanding of love, a division less evident in Old Testament thought.

As the lovers in the book seek union and intimacy, so our exploration of this text and its spirituality can lead us to a greater union in our own perspectives and in our relating to God, the divine lover, whose love is total, single and undivided.
