Beginning Sunday, August 3rd, Fr Austin leads the study of the Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s. This is a very interesting and short book of the Old Testament, nestled right in there with the Psalms. But how different it is! There is, for one thing, no mention of God in the book. Through this study, we will be looking for wisdom about erotic love (the subject of the poems in the book), and for wisdom about how to read the Bible.
Fr Austin is particularly interested in ‚Äúanalogical‚Äù reading, where one thing is an analogy for another (i.e., the woman and man in the poem as analogues for God’s people and God himself). Analogical reading seems to be forced upon us by this book, despite the many problems it poses. The ‚ÄúSong of Songs‚Äù is truly amazing.
The Sunday class is repeated most Thursdays at 12:40pm, beginning on August 7th.
