I'm not the only one who appreciates your engagements with "the desire expressed in the Song," as you put it. I missed reading a comment from you, here, <a href="http://wombmansbible.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-do-you-think-about-genesis-316.html" rel="nofollow">when Jay was asking his questions about Genesis 3:16</a> - so thank you for stopping by at this blog now to comment.J.

I am only just getting to the phrase by phrase and poem by poem view of the psalms. Who knows if the tokens even meant the same thing to the different poets? If they were written over say 300 years, then even the Hebrew would have changed in that period. But to attempt to 'prove my point' strikes me as dangerous if the result is imposed on others as their starting point under my rule. So the church is largely ruled by those who are trained in her propagation. How do we escape from this domination of the logic of the word, rather than the freeing and life that comes in the word? I suppose it is by such engagement as the desire expressed in the Song. - That at least is my resting point.Bob MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335631079939764763noreply@blogger.com
