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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Richard Alfred Norris Jr.</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Song of Solomon -- Criticism, interpretation, etc</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Early christian commentators</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">223.90709</classification> <classification authority="ddc">N853-R51</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0802825796</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/7/son.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/7/son.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070704.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
