| Popis: |
This chapter focuses on Netsiv's engagement with Maimonides in his commentary on the Song of Songs as the quintessential biblical book of love. It talks about Netsiv's theological positions and offers a convenient compendium of his thought. It also analyses how the Song of Songs presents an exegetical opportunity to present God and Israel as the protagonists in a romantic ode to love. The chapter mentions Netsiv's explicit approval of Abraham Ibn Ezra's disparagement of that trend among the critical scholars of his era, who treated the Song of Songs as an allegory of attachment between the supernal soul and the body. It examines tenor of Netsiv's commentary that mirrors the empathetic character of his life. |
