"This Old Testament book, 'the best of songs', has fascinated and perplexed interpreters for centuries. We hear the passionate medley of romantic love and are confronted by erotic imagery--but whose love is described? Is it a couple's love for each other, God's love for his people, or a poem that speaks to love in all its dimensions? Iain Duguid'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." --back cover
