Book Reviews of The Song of Solomon
Book Review: "Sweeter than wine..."
Summary: 5 Stars
The song of Solomon (Canticles) is a beautiful book. It's about love. It's also a difficult book.
The Canticles are attributed to Solomon, son of David, king of Israel c.970-c.930 BC. In the Bible he's traditionally associated with The Song of Solomon (Canticles), Ecclesiastes, and Proverbs. His alleged wisdom is illustrated by the Judgement of Solomon. It doesn't mean necessarily that Solomon actually wrote them. In those days it was custom to ascribe some anonymous books to a famous person.
The Canticles is a collection of love songs written in such way that the reader gets the impression to be a participant in a feast or a wedding feast. It's a dialogue, presented as love songs, between a man and a woman. That sounds obvious but it isn't because it's not clear who they really are. The Jews say that he and she are God and Israel. According to the Christians they symbolize Christ and the Church and yet another explanation says they are God and the Soul.
Today we know that Solomon was not the author, the Canticum was written in the third century BC.
The Canticles (or Canticum, Song of Solomon, Canticum Canticorum.) are not a story but a collection of songs. It provides tools to improve our knowledge of God's intentions and at the same time to understand better our own thoughts and fears.
The "Canticles" is easy to read when you take the words literally. But when you search for a deeper meaning it can be very difficult.
Summary of The Song of Solomon
From an ancient love story, we find a message of honesty, hope, and healing for relationships today. "Jeffrey Johnson is one of the most dynamic and creative Bible teachers in the church today. In this unique treatment of the Song of Solomon, Pastor Johnson unearths the mysteries of love, sex and marriage as the Creator intended them to be understood and enjoyed." Tony Evans Senior Pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship President, The Urban Alternative "This is a very insightful and refreshing look at relationships. Whether you are married or single, this is a must read." Vivica Fox Actress "In our society today, we are constantly being bombarded with messages about love and sex. Many times, however, they are the wrong messages. In The Song of Solomon, Love, Sex and Relationships, Jeffrey Johnson spells out the biblical message of God's purpose for intimacy." Tony Dungy Head Coach, Indianapolis Colts Pastor Jeffrey A. Johnson, Sr. is senior pastor of Eastern Star Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. Pastor Johnson is a graduate of Bishop College in Dallas, Texas; has attended Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis; and received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Saint Thomas Christian College, Jacksonville, Florida. Pastor Johnson became pastor of Eastern Star Church in 1988 and the church has grown under his leadership from 500 to over 10,000 members. In addition, three thriving independent church plants have been established through Eastern Star Church in the past five years. A devoted husband, Pastor Johnson and his wife, Sharon Henry Johnson, are the dedicated parents of four sons: Jeffrey Allen, II, Jordan Adam, Jalon Alexander and Josiah Andrew. Pastor Johnson is committed to preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, ministering holistically to the congregation and community, and lifting the cause of social justice in our world.Spirituality Books
