From 1972 to 2014 Sr Edmée Kingsmill SLG published a number of articles in the Fairacres Chronicle, the Journal of the Sisters of the Love of God at Fairacres, that were offshoots of her doctoral research on the Song of Songs, or of her excursions into biblical Hebrew. Her essays examining aspects of the Song of Songs have been gathered together and published as Divine Love in the Song of Songs (SLG Press, 2024), while the present volume contains the studies of other texts from the Hebrew Bible and early Christian writers. Each essay is carefully crafted to explore some aspect of biblical interpretation or the literature and beliefs surrounding the origins of the Hebrew Bible, providing the reader with a wealth of information and considerable food for thought.

Sister Edmée (1930–2018) trained as a ballet dancer and modelled for Vogue before, as she said, meaning finally entered her life when she became an Anglican and then joined the order of the Sisters of the Love of God in 1966. Her studies in the Convent led to two years learning Hebrew at Leo Baeck College and finally a DPhil, gained at the age of 73. Her dissertation was published as The Song of Songs and the Eros of God: A Study in Biblical Intertextuality (Oxford University Press, 2009).
