20/30s | The Song of Songs

Pope Benedict XVI proposes that the Song of Songs—the scripture with strikingly romantic imagery between two lovers—is the “essence of Biblical faith” (Deus Caritas Est, 10). Joey Martineck, director of Respect Life Ministry for the Archdiocese of Atlanta and co-writer of GARDEN: The Musical, dives into St. Pope John Paul II’s theology of the body in which he wrote extensively of the Song of Songs, explaining why the book is a favorite of saints and mystics and how we can make sense of it. Presented to the 20/30Somethings Ministry at their Discipleship Night, June 13, 2023.
