In this session with Katherine Wodehouse and Canon Will Lamb, we will explore the way in which the Song of Songs has inspired and provoked the curiosity of artists through the centuries. With its themes of love and beauty, passion and death, the poetry has long fascinated artists and others. Although this session relates in part to the Bible Studies taking place this term, you do not need to attend the Bible Studies in order to participate in this session. Everyone is welcome.
