About This Book

A devotional exposition of the Song of Solomon interprets the poem's bridal imagery as the believer's union and fellowship with Christ. Organized in six sections, it contrasts an unsatisfied life with the remedy of intimate union, traces breakdowns of communion and their restoration, celebrates sustained fellowship, and describes the spiritual fruits and freedom that flow from recognized union. The work uses New Testament teaching as an interpretive key, urges reliance on the Holy Spirit for illumination, and applies these themes to practical Christian devotion and devoted service.
