The Song of Songs, also called the Canticle of Canticles or the Song of Solomon, is an erotic poem, one of the megillot (scrolls) found in the last section of the Tanakh, known as the Ketuvim (or "Writings"). It is unique within the Hebrew Bible: it shows no interest in Law or Covenant or the God of Israel, nor does it teach or explore wisdom like Proverbs or Ecclesiastes; instead, it celebrates sexual love, giving "the voices of two lovers, praising each other, yearning for each other, proffering invitations to enjoy".

Tuesday Night Great Books is a discussion of the world’s sacred and philosophical texts. Led by Rev. Bob, we’ll explore a few short passages from some of the world’s best-known sacred texts. No advance reading is required. No prior knowledge is assumed; we will just read the text aloud and talk about it. Skepticism and scrutiny are welcome. We’ll look at the texts rationally, emotionally, spiritually, theologically and from the standpoint of literature.

These sessions will be held monthly, on the LAST MONDAY of the Month, 7:30-9pm on Zoom.
