Book Summary
Dr. Ruth and Jonathan Mark offer a clearer understanding of the intertwining relationships between sexuality, spirituality, and sexual roles through a look at the latter books of the Old Testament--the Song of Songs, Ruth, Proverbs, Psalms, and some of the bawdier tales of the Prophets. "A thoughtful study of the role of sexuality in Judaica . . . Public libraries should add this book to ensure that yeshiva students not be the only ones to discover how fascinating the Torah can be".--Booklist The inimitable Dr. Ruth and journalist for the Jewish Week Jonathan Mark explore the Bible and examine the intertwining relationships between sexuality, spirituality, and sexual roles in the familiar stories.
