Summary:

Savoring God is at comparative study featuring the Christian Cántico espiritual (Spiritual Canticle), by the sixteenth-century Spanish poet and theologian Saint John of the Cross, and the Hindu Sanskrit R=asa L=il=a (Dance of Love), which originated in the oral tradition. The poems are examined alongside theological commentaries. The comparisons examine the interactions between poetical language and theological discourse.
