Abstract The origin of the interpretation of Song of Songs as a description of God’s relationship with God’s beloved community has been a persistent question in the work’s history of interpretation. Earlier scholarship has provided a number of possible solutions to this problem, none of them conclusive. This article offers another possible answer: the language and imagery of the Northwest Semitic combat myth in Song 8:6-7, which identifies love with Yhwh as the victorious divine warrior, triggers the work’s interpretation as a divine love song. This argument receives support from some of the earliest allusions to Song of Songs in Revelation, which interpret Song of Songs in the context of apocalyptic discourse that likewise draws heavily on the combat myth.

Jonathan Edwards’s doctrine of the Holy Spirit played a central role in his theology. Beginning with the immanent Trinity, Edwards argued that the Holy Spirit is the bond of union of the Godhead who unites Father and Son in a communion of infinite, divine love. He then applied this concept Christologically to the hypostatic union, and soteriologically to the mystical union the Church enjoys with God. By closely identifying the Spirit with the divine affection that is communicated to the redeemed, Edwards effectively built his pneumatology directly into his discussions of grace, faith, and religious experience, a point which ensured that his doctrine of the Holy Spirit would pervade much of his writing.

Women have made very significant contribution to the transmission of faith and one of thegreatest figure in the history of this transmission is St.Teresa of Jesus, the woman theologian of the sixteenth century Spain. Her theology is a mystagogy of prayer, to the highest mystical union with God. It is a theology based on her experience and narrated in the first person singular. Her theology is a theology of humility. She is a woman of inquiry and of wonder. She wrote during a time of intense ecclesiastical scrutiny of texts. Kaum perempuan telah memberikan kontribusi yang sangat berarti bagi penerusan iman dan salah satu tokoh terbesar dalam sejarah penerusan iman ini adalah St.Teresa Yesus, teolog perempuan Spanyol abad keenam belas. Teologinya adalah suatu mistik doa, hingga persatuan mistik tertinggi dengan Tuhan. Ini adalah teologi berdasarkan pengalamannya sendiri dan dikisahkan dalam sudut pandang orang pertama tunggal. Teologinya adalah teologi kerendahan hati. Dia adalah wanita yang selalu ‘mencari’ dan bertanya penuh kagum. Dia menulis pada saat gereja melakukan pengawasan yang ketat terhadap tulisan rohani (pada saat pemeriksaan teks gerejawi yang intens).
