Nearly every year a new book on the Song of Songs is published—a testament to the Song’s perennial popularity, however no ecologically oriented commentary on the Song has ever been written.  Toward a Holy Ecology is the first book-length ecological commentary on the Song of SongsThe author is a pioneer in the field of religion and ecology. She founded the first national Jewish environmental organization, Shomrei Adamah, Keepers of the Earth, in 1988. Author’s prior work has been covered by the following venues: National Public Radio, NY Times, Sierra Magazine, Yes Magazine, Utne Reader, Environmental Ethics, Philadelphia Inquirer, Boston Globe, Religion News Service, Tikkun, Forward, numerous Jewish journals.Author’s work on the Bible and Ecology has appeared in the Green Bible (Harper One, 2008) and will be featured in a new Oxford University Press Handbook on Bible and Ecology (2022).  She continues to teach widely on Bible and ecology and is an advisor to the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, a board member of the Shalom Center, an advisor to the Green Sabbath project, and a steering committee member for the Third Act/faith.Song of Songs is the only book in the Bible in which God is not mentioned, thus broadening its appeal. In Toward a Holy Ecology, Song of Songs is interpreted as a love story between humanity and the Earth.The Bill McKibben foreword will certainly help with credibility in the environmental movement.
