Song of Songs

Professor Jon Levenson discusses how the concept of 'love' differed in ancient Israel, whether Song of Songs can/should be read allegorically, and how understandings of love developed and changed throughout history.

As part of HDS Leadership Day, held April 5, 2013, HDS professors Harvey Cox and Stephanie Paulsell gave a talk on their jointly-authored book, Lamentations and the Song of Songs (Westminster John Knox Press, 2012).
