I was intrigued through the early sections as Nielsen discusses ancient Jewish marriage and family customs. The symbolism of Christ as the bridegroom and his church (us) as the bride goes very deep into the many rituals. I loved her insights into the ten virgins story, her explanation of the wedding canopy, and her excellent observations about the significance of bread in Middle Eastern culture.

I loved her insights into the ten virgins story, her explanation of the wedding canopy, and her excellent observations about the significance of bread in Middle Eastern culture. I felt, however, that later parallels were taken too far, to the point that any two dots could be connected. For example, Nielsen's comparison between the larynx and the cervix made me roll my eyes: "The physical similarities between these two body parts seem to indicate a correlation between giving birth to children and giving life to our words. Speaking is much like giving birth..." Still, I learned a lot and will almost certainly refer back to this volume in the future. 1 like
