About the Book
The lush and poetic eroticism of the Song of Songs in the Old Testament has been read as an allegory of the union between God and his people. St Theresa of Avila's writings of her mystical ecstasies seem to the modern reader unmistakably sexual, and this eroticism is made quite explicit in the famous statue of her by Bernini, swooning in ecstasy when pierced by an angel with a sword.
Modern photography can express a desire for a similar passionate consummation.
