title = "Songs in the desert: The Rabbis and Origen on spiritual ascent",
abstract = "The songs in the desert serve both the Rabbis and Origen to sketch a development of spiritual growth. By comparing the songs chosen it is possible to assess the different perspectives: the Rabbis view Moses as the pinnacle, Origen avoids Moses and instead highlights Solomon and his Song of Songs as a type of Christ. For both, the kiss between bridegroom and bride indicates the highest religious intimacy.",
