Description

This provocative commentary will prove a valuable addition to the literature available on the Song of Solomon [Songs]. Mr. Clarke has given us a work of superior helpfulness and excellence.

At first this book may prove a bit unsettling to those who interpret the Songs exclusively as a love song between Christ and the church. But after serious study, many will agree that Mr. Clarke provides an interpretation that is scripturally sound and satisfying. As basic Bible interpretation, we do not look for the church in the Old Testament. Thus as Mr. Clarke shows, the interpretation of the Songs relates primarily with Israel.

In this detailed study, the following order is observed:

   1. Historical review of each of the fourteen paragraphs.

   2. Verse notes elucidating the text.

   3. Prophetic aspect as applying to Israel’s remnant.

   4. Devotional application in relation to the Christian and the church of God.
