  • The Message of the Song of Songs, By Tom Gledhill
    Paperback

    The Message of the Song of Songs

    The Bible Speaks Today Series

    by Tom Gledhill

    At first reading, the Song of Songs appears to be an unabashed celebration of physical attraction, mutual love, and sexual consummation between a man and a woman. Tom Gledhill maintains that the Song of Songs is in fact just that—a literary, poetic exploration of human love that strongly affirms loyalty, beauty, and sexuality. Yet in God's story, these things are not ends in themselves. ...

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Kenneth Stevenson and Michael Glerup

    Edited by Jason K. Lee and William M. Marsh

    "As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.'"

    Edited by Joel C. Elowsky
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    The Gospel of John was beloved by the early church, much as it is today, for its spiritual insight and clear declaration of Jesus' divinity.
