Norris, Richard A. (1930-2005)
The Church's Bible: The Song of Songs Interpreted by Early Christian and Medieval Commentators Richard Alfred Norris Jr. - U.S.A William B. Eerdmans 2003 - 325tr. hardcover 26cm
In The Song of Songs, the inaugural volume of The Church's Bible, Richard A. Norris, Jr. uses commentaries and sermons from the church's first millennium to illustrate the original Christian understanding of Solomon's beautiful poem. In recent times, the Song of Songs has been more a focus of literary than of religious interest, but Norris's work shows that for early Christians, this text was counted, with the Psalms and the Gospels, among those Scriptures that touched most deeply on the believer's relation to God.
