Commentary on the Song of Songs
Description
The Song of Songs is a book of the Hebrew Bible, also known as Canticle of Canticles or simply Canticles. St. Bernard wrote 43 beautiful sermons on this book. He interprets the song of songs in reference to the love between God and the soul. God is deeply in love with us, and wills our love in return. This love between the soul and God, which is the most intimate love possible, is expressed in the analogy of bride and bridegroom, where the intimacy of love is especially expressed.
