Song of Songs: The Female Body - Desired of God - a podcast by Women of Wonder (WOW!), Inc.

Rev. Ajung Sojwal’s approach to Song of Songs challenges the common notion that the physical is somehow inferior to the spiritual. This cultural mindset has led to the objectifying and controlling the female body. She lays out 5 themes of mutuality with a number of surprises to ponder in wonder. The book features a woman’s voice which becomes bolder as she faces societal disapproval. She takes control of her own body, recognizes her own beauty, and proclaims that she has only one vineyard and she decides who to give it to. The Shulammite woman is an excellent place to redeem womanhood, marriage, sexuality, spirituality, identity and our inner desire for relationships that are safe, mutual, honest, and deep.

How do you see the Shulammite woman reflecting the role of the ezer?

Rev. Ajung Sojwal immigrated from India in 1994. She was ordained by the Episcopal Diocese of NY and is now the rector of St. George's Church in Hempstead Long Island. She is married to Milind, an ordained minister; they have 2 adult daughters.
