From its recorded beginning before Christ, this biblical poem was
widely, and in fact exclusively, interpreted both by Jews and
Christians as a hymn of God's passionate love for his chosen
people. The Song of Songs is however a mysterious book, and the
more modern reading of it as a celebration of human erotic love has
largely displaced this older interpretation. Here, the author
presents a contemporary mystical reading, with reference to some
later Christian poetry, including John Donne, George Herbert and R.
S. Thomas.
Strike the Cloud presents the teaching of the 14th century
spiritual classic The Cloud of Unknowing in a contemporary form,
through selecting and commenting on its main themes. It explores
how The Cloud has been adapted by contemporary teachers of
contemplative prayer, and outlines ways in which it is relevant to
the bigger ecumenical and interfaith picture of today.
