Mobile Ed: OT352 Book Study: Song of Songs (5 hour course)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
In this course Tremper Longman explores Song of Solomon as it was read as an anthology of loosely connected love poems and how it fits into fits into the rest of the canon. The church has a tendency to consider sex taboo as our modern society treats it as an idol. Longman shows how the Songs gives Christians permission to talk as couples and as a church about sexuality. It celebrates God’s gift of sexuality but not idealistically. It teaches us about God as shepherd, King, warrior, father and husband. This course will help you understand your own desires and yearnings but also to understand God, our husband, himself.
