Interpreting the Song of Songs Reception History from Qumran to the Modern Era Joel C. Elowsky and Paul R. Raabe, editors This book offers an interpretive history of the Song of Songs, drawing on early Judaism, Origen, Augustine, the medieval era, Martin Luther, and modern and postmodern approaches. “Although the Song of Songs mentions God only once, it has consistently generated various interpretations of the one loved and the lover. Written by an array of competent authors, this volume provides an excellent history of various interpretations from early Jewish interpretations and the fathers of the church, through the Middle Ages, to the Reformation, to contemporary authors. A very good contribution to the study of the Song of Songs." — Thomas G. Weinandy, Capuchin College, Washington, DC Joel C. Elowsky (PhD, Drew University) is professor of historical theology and director of the Center for the Study of Early Christian Texts at Concordia Seminary. Paul R. Raabe (PhD, University of Michigan) is professor emeritus of exegetical theology at Concordia Seminary and adjunct professor at Grand Canyon University.
