Love Is Better Than Wine: Learning to Love from the Song of Solomon

By Herbert Lockyer

Book Overview

King Solomon had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines who turned his heart from God, and, eventually, tore apart his kingdom. Perhaps that's why his Song of Solomon is a poem about the pure, beautiful, and lasting love that never endangers and brings life, not death.

Bible scholar Herbert Lockyer explores this ancient poem through the 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 has for His church and that the church has for Him. And 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.
