Perspectives on the Song of Songs / Perspektiven der Hoheliedauslegung

  • Edited by: Anselm C. Hagedorn
Languages: English, German

About this book

The collection of essays contains nineteen contributions that aim at locating the Song of Songs in its ancient context as well as addressing problems of interpretation and the reception of this biblical book in later literature. In contrast to previous studies this work devotes considerable attention to parallels from the Greek world without neglecting the Ancient Near East or Egypt. Several contributions deal with the use of the Song in Byzantine, Medieval, German Romantic and modern Greek Literature. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the collection new perspectives and avenues of approach are opened.

Author / Editor information

Anselm C. Hagedorn teaches Old Testament at the Humboldt-Universität Berlin, Germany.
