    <p>From one of the most innovative biblical commentators at work today comes a revolutionary analysis of the intersection between religion and psychoanalysis in the stories of the men and women of the Bible.  In her latest book, The Murmuring Deep: Reflections on the Biblical Unconscious, Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg (The Beginning of Desire and The Particulars of Rapture: Reflections on Exodus) makes the revolutionary argument that biblical commentators were aware of the complex interplay between conscious and unconscious levels of experience, and used this knowledge in their interpretations. Professor Zornberg's talk will focus on the Book of Ruth.   </p>
