Editorial Reviews

"Wilke makes a sound and well-structured argument and certainly opens up the Song for further debate. He has appraised the often overlooked anomalies in time and space as well as gender. He has carried forward the work of Exum and Brenner, who encouraged searching for a presence of diversity within the text. Wilke achieves this admirably, and this work will surely form the basis for a renewed appraisal of the Song in a Hellenistic setting."
Susan Sorek in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017.10.53

"Der hochinteressanten Studie gelingt es, kritische Theorie und hellenistische Parallelen mit dem Hohelied ins Gespräch zu bringen. [...] Die faszinierende und bedenkenswerte Studie ist ein gewichtiger Beitrag zu der Frage, wie sehr das jüdische Leben von hellenistischer Kultur beeinflusst gewesen sein konnte." Anselm C. Hagedorn in: Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 2019, 131(3), 535
