More than a collection of beautiful photographs
“Song of Songs is not set in some idyllic, imaginary Neverland, and its poetry was not created in isolation from the world around it. Its lyrics contain the literary tropes and metaphors of the late Bronze and early Iron Ages, and its scenery and metaphors are drawn from the very real world of ancient Israel. It heavily draws upon the landscape, vegetation, culture, and work life of the Israelite peasants, scribes, and aristocrats. This Photo Companion to Song of Songs vividly demonstrates to modern readers that the poetry of the Song sprouted and flourished in a specific time and place. It is a reminder that we need to consider what it meant to the first audiences before drawing conclusions about what it means to us. This is more than a collection of beautiful photographs. It is also an interpretive tool.”
—Duane A. Garrett, Professor of Old Testament, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and author of Song of Songs in the Word Biblical Commentary
I heartily recommend!
“I heartily recommend the excellent photographs in this collection on the Song of Songs! It does an excellent job of visualizing much about the Song’s content that is difficult to express in words. My only regret is that I did not have access to this collection years ago, to be able to utilize it when I was writing on the Song!”
—Boyd Luter, Professor Emeritus of Research and Bible, The King’s University; author of Song of Songs in the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary
