Publisher's Synopsis
Known as the Song of songs, this book is, perhaps, the most controversial love poem to be found in the Bible. Many believe it too overtly sensual to be considered as Scripture. Sometimes seeming almost erotic, it is anything but that. Rather, it is an allegory, an unfolding of the heart of Jesus Christ-the heavenly bridegroom toward his beloved-the church.
The Song of Solomon, far from being sensual and sordid, points to a time beyond time, while unveiling a life to be lived in fullness and holy love-now. Here you will find an awareness of the love of Jesus that will carry you to the heights of joy. In this study, Dr. Ronald Cottle has woven together an exacting interpretation of this amazingly penetrating look into the heart of God. The passion and desire God has for the Beloved Bride of Christ shines through in a most intriguing way.
