Our culture holds the megaphone when it comes to talking about sex, while the church has a reputation for keeping quiet, hesitant to teach people about this part of life. The Song of Solomon holds nothing back as it sings about the holy practice of sexuality within marriage, and Douglas Sean O'Donnell preaches it as the wisdom literature it is, offering a Christ-centered reading of its poetry and themes.

Few books in Scripture have been interpreted in as many ways as this one, and O'Donnell is clear about his approach rather than leaving the reader guessing. The aim is to help Christians think and live rightly about love and desire from the text itself. 192 pages, hardcover, in the Preaching the Word series edited by R. Kent Hughes.
