Synopsis

Written in the high art style of prophetic witness, The Scroll of Anatiya reveals a new kind of biblical heroine who is fiercely passionate and sensual. In this first-person, honest, and vulnerable account of an orphaned, passion-driven disciple of Jeremiah—perhaps a prophetess in her own right—Anatiya reveals herself to be a rare window into an incredible world and a beautiful mind. Out of a century of war, wrath, starvation, and exile, Anatiya’s epic love poem unleashes a timeless theology of love. In this unique work, the contemporary imagination of Rabbi Zoë Klein meshes seamlessly with the world of Jeremiah in an unforgettable story of passion, poetry, and love.
