Song of Songs
Christian Century, May 30, 2006 by Walter Brueggemann
Song of Songs. By J. Cheryl Exum. (Westminster John Knox, 304 pp., $39.95.) Exum has written a remark able commentary on a difficult text with shrewdness and a deep sense of the text's subtlety. She focuses on the "construction of desire" given to us in delicate, artistic form. As an exercise in hermeneutics, the book is especially important in a consumer culture that is endlessly constructing desire and reducing love to a commodity.
Selected by Walter Brueggemann, professor emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary.
