About this book

Old Testament

▾

Song of Solomon — Love poetry in eight chapters — the Bible's most surprising book. A chiastic structure; a bride and bridegroom alternating in dialogue; and a three-school interpretive tradition the site surfaces without adjudication.

Author: Traditional: Solomon (1:1 ''the song of songs, which is Solomon's''). Critical: the ''of Solomon'' construction allows ''about Solomon'' or ''to Solomon'' and opens the authorship question. §7.9 surfaces; most readings keep Solomonic association.
Date: Solomonic reading: c. 965–930 BC. Critical reading: later editorial compilation.

On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Am I weary of Christ's presence, that I affront him and provoke him to depart from me? Why should I do that which he will take so unkindly and which I shall certainly repent of?" The Church's Dependence on Christ; The Love of the Church to Christ.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The Christian church was raised up from a low and desolate condition by the grace of Christ relied on, Gal. iv. Particular believers are amiable, nay, admirable, and divine grace is to be admired in them, when by the power of that grace they are brought up from the wilderness, leaning with a holy confidence and complacency upon Jesus Christ their beloved.
