Summary:	"Though a curious and often-misunderstood Old Testament book, Song of Songs is still relevant for today. John G. Snaith's standard and authoritative commentary, drawing on up-to-date scholarship, helps clarify the text of Song of Songs in a balanced manner. Designed to be clearly understood by nonspecialists, this volume will also prove useful to ministers, teachers, and scholars"--
