Introduction -- PART I: SONG OF SONGS: INTRODUCTION -- The Second Coming: Repetition and Insatiable Desire in the Song of Songs -- A Fleshly Reading: Masochism, Ecocriticism and the Song of Songs -- Making It, Literally: Metaphor, Economy and the Sensuality of Nature -- PART II: MASCULINITIES: INTRODUCTION -- The Patriarch's Nuts: Concerning the Testicular Logic of Biblical Hebrew -- Too Many Dicks at the Writing Desk, or, How to Organise a Prophetic Sausage-Fest -- Of Fine Wine, Incense and Spices: The Unstable Masculine Hegemony of the Books of Chronicles -- Yahweh as Top: A Lost Targum -- Skin Gods: Circumcising the Built Male Body -- PART III: PARAPHILIAS: INTRODUCTION -- Hooker Hermeneutics: A Reading of Avaren Ipsen's Sex Working and the Bible -- King Solomon Meets Annie Sprinkle -- Orientalist Camp: The Case of Allen Edwardes -- Hittites, Horses and Corpses: On Bestiality and Necrophilia in the Hebrew Bible -- Conclusion.

Through a series of readings, Boer explores the earthy nature of the Bible. These readings are gathered into three parts: the Song of Songs; Masculinities ; Paraphilias . The first part begins by exploring what a fully carnal allegory (the assumption that the Song is about human sex) might look like, moving on to ask how a rigorously literal reading would work (one that takes references to the sex of plants and animals at face value). The second part deals with biblical masculinities and their chronic instabilities at a very material level: the terminology for testicles, or the testicular logic of biblical Hebrew; the spermatic spluttering pen(ise)s of the scribal prophets; the queerness of the all-male worlds of Chronicles and Mount Sinai; and then the deep uncertainties of the ban on images of God, as revealed through male body-building. The third part plunges into paraphilias, whether prostitution or pornography, lascivious rabbis, masturbating prophets, bestiality or necrophilia. Each study is undertaken with rigorous attention to relevant scholarship and significant theoretical engagement (especially with psychoanalysis, ecocriticism and Marxism).

520 $a "Is the Bible far more earthy and crude than we often realise? In a provocative and thoroughly enjoyable study, Roland Boer covers the Bible's testicular logic, the spermatic spluttering pen(ise)s of the scribal prophets, the moist and juicy sensuality of the Song of Songs, and paraphilias, whether prostitution or pornography, lascivious rabbis, masturbating prophets, bestiality, or necrophilia. The book strikes a fine balance between serious, rigorous scholarship and a close attention to matters of sex, masculinity, and carnal delights - precisely those delights that escape many readers of the Bible"-- $c Provided by publisher.
