Monks and priests - male celibates - have for centuries described,
expressed, and celebrated their love for God in the language of
sex, most prolifically and characteristically in a thousand-year
tradition of theological commentaries on the scriptural Song of
Songs. As their allegory for the intimate love between God and man,
they chose the most intense human model available - erotic love.
After analyzing the tradition, its logic, and its imagery, Denys
Turner provides translations of a dozen medieval commentaries never
before available in English. From Gregory the Great in the sixth
century to John of the Cross in the sixteenth, lovers of God speak
in their own words across a thousand years a message as compelling
today as it was in the Middle Ages.
