What differentiates the Song of Songs from other ballads sung in the common pub? What purpose does it serve to the people of God? Why has a song about intimacy been included in the Holy Scriptures?

In today's episode, the guys will survey those various interpretations as they get prepared to walk through the text itself.
New Year, New Series!

To kick off the New Year, John, Ron, and Sam delve into a biblical figure most associated with wisdom, Solomon. More specifically, the trio explores Solomon’s Song of Songs, seeking wisdom from this biblical poetry's approach to the often-taboo topic of sex.
