Conversational Theology

Archive for September 5th, 2009

Thus the principal clue to the meaning of the Song has, to the best of my knowledge, never been noticed, namely, that there are twenty-six occurrences of the term ‘my beloved’ in the Song, and that twenty-six is the numerical value of the divine Name, YHWH.

From Sr. Edmée Kingsmill’s unpublished PhD thesis, The Song of Songs and the Eros of God.


Conversational theology:

the art of learning deep truths about God and man in the company of friends, whilst drinking tea and eating cake.
