Summary: Short, Solid, Sweet Song of Solomon
Comment: G. Lloyd Carr's study of the Song of Songs (Canticles, Song of Solomon) does a great job of rescuing it from overly symbolic interpretations. Instead, says Carr, the Song is about just what it appears to be about. Sex, romance, and love. Carr unpacks the various images of flowers, gardens, grape vines, and spices, putting them into the context of Old Testament Israel's culture. He also forthrightly explores the explicit imagery of breasts, thighs, and sexual expression the book displays. Carr's book is short, pithy, but packed with enough information for the scholar. Written in the mid-1980s, it still seems fresh and frank and wonderfully edifying. My only reason for not giving five stars? I wanted it longer!
