About this listen

Is love in the biblical air this Valentine's Day?

To find out, Professors Helen Bond and Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones take a trip back to the biblical world. They discuss...

  • What is ‘love’ in the biblical imagination?
  • Is there romantic love in the ancient world?
  • Is Song of Songs a wedding Song?
  • How are Heriodas and Antipas anticipated by Ahab and Jezebel?
  • How have we misread David and Bathsheba’s relationship?
  • Why is Paul ‘anti-marriage’?
  • Does same-sex love show up in the Bible?
