Song of Songs (Reformed Expository Commentary Series)
Iain M DuguidHardback 2016-05-06
The erotic imagery of the Song of Songs has perplexed many commentators over the centuries, with interpretation ranging from the literal to the elaborately allegorical. Iain Duguid steers a middle way, seeing in the Song both an idealized human love and a revelation of Christ's love for the church.
Publisher Description
Should we read Song of Songs as romantic poetryor as an allegory? Should some people even read it at all? Pastor-scholar Iain Duguid steers a middle way between allegorical and literal approaches, and shows that this book's celebration of the love between a man and woman not only shapes Christians' thinking about human relationships but reveals the love that Christ has for his bride, the church.
