PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Robert Miller is ordinary professor of Old Testament at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, and a research affiliate of the University of Pretoria Faculty of Theology & Religion. He is the author of many books on the Old Testament and ancient Israel.
"""Robert Miller has done a very difficult thing: he has read an ancient literary masterpiece as though it were written just yesterday, yet without once losing sight of its cultural remoteness or compromising its irreducible strangeness. An elegant book about beautiful love-poems."" --Brian McHale, author of The Obligation toward the Difficult Whole: Postmodernist Long Poems ""Robert Miller offers an illuminating and fresh study of the evocative power of beauty in the Bible's Song of Songs. It is a careful and sophisticated commentary on the Song's poetic elements that yields new insights into the Song's myriad meanings. Using aesthetic criticism, Miller does more than help us understand beauty within the Song; he demonstrates that beauty is a reverberating energy between the reader and this text."" --Carey Ellen Walsh, author of Exquisite Desire: Religion, the Erotic, and the Song of Songs"
