7.3 - Song of Songs: Tavern Tune or Serenade of Sublimity? Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

"The whole world was not worthy of the day in which this sublime song was given to Israel." - Rabbi Akiva

What differentiates the Song of Songs from other ballads sung in the common pub? What purpose does it serve to the people of God? Why has a song about intimacy been included in the Holy Scriptures? The Song of Songs is the most interpreted book of the Bible, and over the years, interpretations have varied. In today's episode, the guys will survey those various interpretations as they get prepared to walk through the text itself.

7.2 - Song of Songs: Prepositions & Penmanship Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

New Year, New Series!

A preposition can wield immense power in altering meaning and establishing ownership. When ancient language becomes an intimate affair, where the eloquence of antiquity embraces the rhythmic sensuality of poetic expression, the modern reader may find themselves lost between the sheets of paper that the Bible is written on.

To kick off the New Year, John, Ron, and Sam delve into a biblical figure most associated with wisdom, Solomon. More specifically, the trio explores Solomon's Song of Songs, seeking wisdom from this biblical poetry's approach to the often-taboo topic of sex.

Today, the guys ask: What does this book reveal about itself? Who are the characters, and did Solomon truly pen it? Join us as we set the stage for our study of Song of Songs, in today's episode of the After Class Podcast
