The Song of Songs
T.& T.Clark Ltd (Verlag)
978-0-567-69396-9 (ISBN)
Zakovitch poses and addresses a range of enticing questions in the eight chapters of this volume, including: what does this erotic poetry have to do with Israel’s formative texts? What do the poems tell us about gender relations in those years, and about early Israel’s attitudes towards beauty, love, women, and sex? Do we finally get to hear women’s voices in the Song, where the rest of the Bible gives a male perspective? How, despite our astonishment, is the Song of Songs nonetheless intrinsically biblical? What does it have in common with the Bible’s other books? Was the allegorical interpretation of the Song just an excuse in order to include the book in Scripture?
Yair Zakovitch is the Emeritus Father Takeji Otsuki Professor of Bible at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.
