This provocative work investigates the character of the erotic in witings from ancient Israel and how the erotic is connected to the experience of the divine.

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth for better is your love than wine, your anointing oils are fragrant, your name is better than perfume poured out. Therefore women love you! Draw me after you, let us run! Let the king bring me into his chambers.
