HERNANDEZ, G. M., Savoring God. Comparative Theopoetics. Oxford University Press, 2021. 248p. Hardback. Savoring God is an intensely personal book, the fruits of Gloria Maite Hernandez's mature investment in two poems that she knows so very well, the Cantico espiritual of Saint John of the Cross and the Bhagavata Purana's Rasa Lila. This book is an exemplary instance of comparative reading, remarkably sophisticated in its attentiveness to each poem, a savoring of each word and every verse as these contribute to a cumulative passion for God. Savoring God is thus too an exemplary instance of comparative theology, the reading of texts intensified by mastery of and surrender to poetic form and suggestion. Francis X.
