Love, Marriage--And Jesus: The Song of Solomon - Paperback

by Jonathan F. Bayes (Author)

The marriage of a man to a woman is a wonderful gift of God to the human race--a gift worth celebrating. The Song of Solomon is a song cycle which sings of the joys of married love. It is realistic, recognizing how every married couple has to contend with the effects of sin on their relationship, and it demonstrates how the difficulties may be resolved when things do go wrong. But the Song also points us upwards to consider and to celebrate the model love relationship--that exemplified by the Lord Jesus Christ in his love for his bride, the church.
