Alongside the poems Gloria Mait Hern ndez examines theological commentaries on the texts: the Comentarios written by Saint John of the Cross on his own poem and the foundational commentary on the R sa L l by r dhara Sv mi as well as commentaries by the sixteenth - century theologian J va Gosv mi from the Gau ya Vai ava school and other Gau ya theologians. The phrase \"savoring God\" conveys the Spanish gustar a Dios (to savor God) and the Sanskrit madhura bhakti rasa (the sweet savor of divine love). In the Christian and Hindu commentaries these two concepts describe a way of approaching the poems that is simultaneously vulnerable to the emotions evoked by the poetical imagery and responsive to its theological demands. While \"savoring\" does not mean the precisely the same thing to the Christian and the Hindu theologians Hern ndez demonstrates that both traditions interpret the term to suggest poetry's power in mediating an encounter with the divine.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Savoring God Comparative Theopoetics\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Hernandez Gloria Maite (Associate Professor Of Spanish Associate Professor Of Spanish West Chester University)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Oxford University Press Inc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780190907365\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 248 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/8\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Hinduism","brand":"Hernandez Gloria Maite (Associate Professor Of Spanish Associate Professor Of Spanish West Chester University)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49643004723505,"sku":"IN-G-9780190907365","price":114.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780190907365_1583a326-64d0-4100-ad72-daf1f456b3df.jpg?v=1753220736","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780190907365-savoring-god-comparative-theopoetics","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
