Scrolls of love : reading Ruth and the Song of songs

Hawkins, Peter S. (Added Author). Stahlberg, Lesleigh Cushing. (Added Author).

Summary: Respectful of traditional biblical scholarship, this collection of essays aims to move beyond it. It brings together two communities that have read their Bibles in isolation from one another, in ignorance of the richness of the other's traditions.
