Once in a generation a biblical scholar unlocks the hidden secrets of an entire biblical book... -- Rabbi Mayer I. Gruber, PhD, Associate Professor, Dept. of Bible and Ancient Near East, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beersheva, Israel --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Due in large measure to its unique literary genre, the Song of Songs has been interpreted in diverse ways. "Spiritual" readers of the poem have, for example, felt a deep-seated repugnance before its erotic nature. This has led them to employ a variety of artificial devices to tame it: the text has at times been altered, the metaphors have been allegorized, the similes have been labeled grotesque, the date of composition has traveled virtually the whole gamut of biblical chronology, the author's purpose has been reduced to nothing, and the poem itself has become an exercise in futility. All of this, says Andr LaCocque, supports the notion that the issue with which any reader of the Song must come to grips is, first and foremost, a hermeneutical one.

Using a naturalistic approach, LaCocque shows that the Song is fundamentally a critique of the mores of conformist societies and of the dualism between body and soul prevalent in sophisticated and popular mentalities. In addition, he insists that the author of the poem is a woman.

Andr LaCocque is Professor Emeritus, Hebrew Scriptures, Chicago Theological Seminary. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. MORE EBOOKS:
