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 he wanted a poem about the one, everlasting Love.
In Love Is Better Than Wine, Bible scholar Herbert Lockyer explains the imagery and symbolism of the Song og Solomon and connects it to the rest of the Bible. His study illuminates the love between the beloved and bride as a beautiful picture of the love that Christ has for His church and the church has for Him. In an age when many Christians feel betrayed, insecure, and alone, Lockyer's words bring a timely reminder of the intimate refuge Christ offers us daily.
