The Eros of the Saints

Exploring the deep tradition of the church, this chapter uncovers the true significance of eros beyond misconceptions of its association with pornography. Saints' emphasis on the erotic realm, especially through the Song of Songs, reveals it as a symbol of the desire for union with God, the ultimate sacrament of eternal union. The narrative delves into the concept of insatiable desires for the true good and the search for divine beauty, leading to a profound yearning for ultimate union with God in the midst of longing and unfulfilled desires.
