Biblical Reading and Reflections: December 26th (Song of Songs 3 & Luke 22:39-53)

Alastair's Adversaria

CHAPTER

Introduction

The song of songs plays out through time and its interplays between presence and absence, between experience and longing. In chapter two the man had come to the woman, calling her out into springtime when their love could join in the freedom and the renewal of the life of the natural world. That chapter ended with the ambiguous words of the woman, seemingly both summoning and sending away the man. The book ends on a paradoxical statement that well illustrates the tensions and interplays that characterize the song.
