This latest volume in the popular Belief series considers two very
different types of biblical writings and two very timely
subjects-violence and sex within the context of Scripture.
Well-known theologian Harvey Cox draws on a wide array of sources
in his commentary on Lamentations- including poetry, novels, films,
paintings, and photography-to offer a contemporary theological
reading that is provocative and sure to stir numerous theological
reflections and responses. The biblical book of Song of Songs has
historically been seen as a book pointing to Christ's love for the
church and has been interpreted in allegorical ways. Yet, it is
unique in the canon for its use of erotic poetry, celebrating the
human body and human love in graphic terms. Author Stephanie
Paulsell suggests that the Song can still have profound meaning for
us, teaching us "to love not only what we can see shining on the
surface but also those depths of the other which are out of our
reach."
