“Havilah Dharamraj’s intertextual reading of the Song of Songs together with prophetic literature offers memorable insight into the biblical text, to the contours of which she displays high sensitivity. She is alert to the symbolic conventions both of the ancient Near East and of contemporary India. As a result, we see afresh how the Old Testament can illuminate the meaning of love, both human and divine, for today.”

“This is a valuable addition to Abraham Kuruvilla’s existing work on Christian preaching of Scripture. He knows the issues, provides a fresh translation of the Hebrew text to ponder, and offers theologically robust content. Though it is oriented to those who would preach the Psalms, it also has value for those who pray them.”
