Description
Rarely read and even less rarely preached, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs have been compared to riddles wrapped in enigmas. While included in the trilogy of Solomonic works along with Proverbs, they are often ignored because one seems to be overly pessimistic and the other is almost risqué in its description of physical love. Sometimes readers wonder why these books are in their Bibles! Employing a key that is found near the back door of each of these neglected books, William Varner attempts to shed light on the purpose and value of these treasures hidden away in a dark corner of the Old Testament. His suggested reading strategy sheds valuable light on their purpose and leads to a very practical message for our lives and for our loves.
