"The Song of Solomon contains some of the most magnificent descriptions of pure love ever written."
Bible scholar Herbert Lockyer explains the ancient poem, Song of Solomon, through the wide-angle lens of the gospel. The result is a beautifying story of the passionate love that the beloved has for his bride and that the bride has for her beloved--a picture of the love that Christ gives to His church and that the church returns to Him.
In an age when many of us feel betrayed, insecure, and alone, Lockyer's words bring a timely reminder of the intimate refuge Christ offers us daily. With the help of the Spirit, all of us can learn to love again.
About the author
Dr. Herbert Lockyer (1886-1984) was a preacher and Bible teacher, and the author of more than fifty books. His best-known titles include
All the Men of the Bible and
All the Women of the Bible. Dr. Lockyer held pastorates in Scotland and England for twenty-five years. As pastor of Leeds Road Baptist Church in Bradford, England, he became a leader in the Keswick Higher Life Movement, which emphasized the significance of living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This led to an invitation to speak at the Moody Bible Institute's fiftieth anniversary in 1936. His warm reception at that event led to his ministry in the United States. He received honorary degrees from both the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary and the International Academy in London.
