Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,686 Sterne; 43 Bewertungen)

Also known as Song of Songs, Solomon's Song of Songs, or as Canticles. The protagonists of the Song of Songs are a woman (identified in one verse as "the Shulamite") and a man, and the poem suggests movement from courtship to consummation. Additionally, the Song includes a chorus, the "daughters of Jerusalem."

In spite of the lack of explicitly religious content, the Song is often interpreted as an allegorical representation of the relationship of God and Israel, or for Christians, God and the Church or Christ and the human soul, as husband and wife. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Canticle of Canticles

(5 Sterne)

An intriguing audio interpretation. The reader for Beloved has captivating emotion and a beautiful accent that lends itself to the mood of Hebrew poetry. The book itself is a beautiful celebration of marriage and the courtship of human hearts, as well as a lovely picture of the relationship between Christ and His Bride, the Church; of Jesus and each believer. What an intimate, fulfilling, and exciting relationship each of these is meant to be. The layers of depth in this poetry are wonderful.
