Scrolls. A Contemporary Reading of Iconic Biblical Texts

The book, continuing the series "Biblical Studies", presents the experience of contemporary readings of perhaps the most striking books of the Old Testament — these are Ecclesiastes, Esther, Song of Songs, Ruth, and Lamentations of Jeremiah. The author's comments, composed in the spirit of the patristic tradition and drawing on completely unfamiliar Jewish interpretations for the Orthodox reader, are not only informative but also breathe missionary zeal, are easy to read, and infect the reader with love for the Holy Scriptures.
