We're hugely priveleged to have Yael Klangwisan coming to speak to us on April 15th. Yael is a biblical scholar who is completing her PhD on the Song of Songs and has come incredible insights into this rarely discussed book.
Yael has sat with this text, smelled the smells, tasted the foods and relfected on the imagery in order to understand the text on its own terms. She knows (and teaches) Hebrew and so the way she is able to unpack the way in which it is written and what that says is really interesting. It celebrates sexuality, champions the cause of the woman and has a lot to say to us in the 21st century.
Come along and have your eyes opened!

It would be a shame to take this book (Song of Songs) and shake the dust off it, as we did last night, only to put it back on the shelf without giving it time to breath, be discussed and appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSong of Songs can hit us from the blind side and question what we have been taught or taken for granted previously, or perhaps we are not surprised at all.
THOUGHTS? DISAGREEMENTS? PANIC? FREEDOM? UNCOMFORTABLE?
Read the book for yourselves ... it's there for a reason.
