Song of Solomon (The Proclaim Commentary Series): Passion, Purity, and the Glory of Christ (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954858121)

There are many reasons that the child of God should study the Song of Songs. First, this love poem, interpreted rightly, both historically and typologically is an amazing guide for those entering marriage as to how to honor God in the marriage covenant especially in light of the relationship of Christ and the Church that marriage represents. This love poem points us to the messianic King who pursues and rescues his worn, weary and downtrodden bride. Solomon is seemingly infinitely rich. his bride is destitute and poor. The messianic imagery of David's son is unmistakable. Images of the garden paradise restored are joyously presented in prose and poetry (cf 4:12, 15, 16; 5:1; 6:2, 11; 8:13). Though success in marriage is not the primary message of this book, the Song celebrates marital intimacy enjoyed as God's good gift, designed by him. Of course, the messianic hope of Jesus is the primary reason to study this God-breathed poem.
