Dragostea trinitariană în spiritualitatea sexuală a omului binitar din „Cântarea Cântărilor”
Abstract
This is the last of three papers dealing with the Trinitarian understanding of the spirituality of human marital sexuality. The author hopes that this very last of the three studies has also been successful in convincing the reader that the Song of Songs features a God who created the binitarian man, represented by the male and female characters of this divinely inspired Hebrew lyric poem, to be true to each other and also to God who kindled in them the sexual flame of erotic love (Songs 2:7; 3:5), the equilibrium of which is secured within their marriage by the agapē love of Yahweh (Songs 8:4-7). The poem presents their courtship, conjugal romantic excitement and sexual intimacy as pointing to the OT reality of relentless, non-sexual pleasure and delight (Prov. 8:30) that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit experience in their inner relationship of reciprocal love, intrinsic to their Trinitarian life.
