The Song of Songs: Interpreted by Early Christian and Medieval CommentatorsThe Song of Songs, traditionally attributed to Solomon, is a collection of lyrics that celebrate in earthly terms the love of a bridegroom and a bride. Throughout the course of early Christian history, the Song of Songs was widely read as an allegory of the love of Christ both for the church and for its individual members. In reading the Song this way, Christians were following in the steps of Jewish exegetes who saw the Song as celebrating the love

The Song of Songs, traditionally attributed to Solomon, is a collection of lyrics that celebrate in earthly terms the love of a bridegroom and a bride. Throughout the course of early Christian history, the Song of Songs was widely read as an allegory of the love of Christ both for the church and for its individual members. In reading the Song this way, Christians were following in the steps of Jewish exegetes who saw the Song as celebrating the love of God for Israel.

In The Song of Songs, the inaugural volume of The Church's Bible, Richard A. Norris Jr. uses commentaries and sermons from the church's first millennium to illustrate the original Christian understanding of Solomon's beautiful poem. In recent times, the Song of Songs has been more a focus of literary than of religious interest, but Norris's work shows that for early Christians, this text was counted, with the Psalms and the Gospels, among those Scriptures that touched most deeply on the believer's relation to God.

All in all, Norris's Song of Songs is a masterful work that aptly acquaints contemporary readers with the church's traditional way of discerning in this text a guide to the character of Christian belief and life. This volume -- and the entire Church's Bible series -- will be welcomed by preachers, teachers, students, and general readers alike.

Comfortable pants, flattering, appear durable, run big, adorable pink color.
Size: 8, Color: Mauve
These pants were surprisingly comfortable and flattering. I got a size US 8, though I normally wear a 10 or 12. An interesting thing to note is that while Amazon's size recommendation was 12, the size 8 was highlighted to add to my basket. The size 8 in the pink was on sale for less than $9, where the size 12 was much more. Reading other reviews, I saw that they ran at least one or two sizes big for a lot of people, so I went ahead and go the size 8 and am glad I did. I am 5'5" and the hit right at the bottom of my ankle when standing and about an inch and a half above my ankle when sitting. The color is really nice; they wash and dry with few wrinkles. The zip only front means that they need to fit well. I ended up ordering the orange rust color in the same size and it was slightly too tight in the waist, so I had to send them back. This pair, however fit perfectly. I am very pleased with them, especially for the price. The material is heavy and they appear to be durable. I am not an apple shape, so I usually do not have an issue with pants being too tight in the waist, and I will say that, I tried these back on the same day I tried the orange ones on and these still fit the same, so there is some difference in cut between colors, but that may or may not apply to all sizes. Really like the pink pair.

Great find!
Size: 4, Color: Black
These are great pants. I have them in black and navy. They have a prewashed appearance and a chino like fabric. I had read the reviews and sized up and the pants were big so I returned them. I bought the 4’a and they fit perfectly! I won’t put them in the dryer because I don’t want them to shrink in length. They are very cute casual pants for a very good price!

Beautiful color
Size: 16, Color: Rust Orange
Beautiful color and style. Would order more but it runs extremely small. I ordered size 16 and I normally wear a 14 with extra room, but these have no stretch and I suggest ordering 2 sizes larger than normal.
