Description

The Blessing of Blessings: Grigor of Narek's Commentary on the Song of Songs (Cistercian Studies books) (Volume 215) This commentary on the Song of Songs is a significant work by Grigor of Narek, an Armenian monk and priest. Written during a period of cultural and religious renaissance in Armenia, Grigor's commentary draws on the Armenian text of the Song, which is slightly longer than the Septuagint or Hebrew versions. He explores themes and draws on other scriptural books to emphasize the innate love for God that is inherent in every human person. Grigor's work is notable for its unique perspective, which sets it apart from other Western monastic writers of the time. His commentary provides valuable insights into the Song of Songs and its significance in Christian tradition. This volume presents Grigor's commentary in English, making it accessible to readers interested in biblical studies and Armenian Christianity. With 232 pages, this paperback edition provides a comprehensive introduction to Grigor's commentary on the Song of Songs.
