The Song of Songs: An Introduction and Commentary (Volume 19)

The Song of Songs: An Introduction and Commentary (Volume 19) (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries)

This Old Testament book, 'the best of songs', has fascinated and perplexed interpreters for centuries. We hear the passionate melody of romantic love, and are confronted by erotic imagery but whose love is described? Is it a coupleâ€™s love for each other, Godâ€™s love for his people, or a poem that speaks to love in all its dimensions? Iain Duguidâ€™s commentary explains how the Song is designed to show us an idealized picture of married love, in the context of a fallen and broken world. It also convicts us of how far short of this perfection we fall, both as humans and as lovers, and drives us repeatedly into the arms of our true heavenly husband, Jesus Christ. The Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty-eight volumes offer clear, reliable and relevant explanations of every book in the Old Testament, aiming to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.
