61 In England, analogous to the German Pietists, the success of the Wesleys owed much to the bridal strand, the hymns of Charles (1707–88) especially being redolent with desire and the longing for union with the beloved Saviour. 62 In America the Song continued to provide a favourite basis for spiritual writing by New England Puritans,63 and much more might be adduced on the Protestant side. 59 60 61 1974: 18. 1869: xxxix. 1911: 11. See A. M. Allchin 1987 and 2005. 63 See Ann Matter 1990: 186, and 197 n.
The more recent compilation in three volumes by Isaiah Tishby (1989) hardly cites the Song at all. 40 I recall Professor Barton telling me that he had heard someone on the radio quoting a saying to the effect that the world is divided into two types of people: one type believes that the world is divided into two types of people; the other type does not! I apologize to those who belong in the latter category, namely, according to my distinction, ‘Friends’. Introduction 17 5. The ‘Bride’ and ‘Friend’ distinction All things are twofold, one opposite the other, and he has made nothing incomplete.
This is, in any case, the view of the present commentator in regard to Rabbinic interpretations of the Song. They are fascinating, as Daniel Boyarin shows in his profound exposition of Rabbinic motivation, and brilliantly constructed in relation to the great themes of the crossing of the Red Sea and the giving of the Torah at Sinai––the two places at which the Song is argued to have been delivered to Israel, R. Eliezer favouring the Red Sea and R. Akiva, Mount Sinai. But there is a huge shift of focus from the original motivation for the writing of the Song to its use in providing a midrash to the Torah.
