As I have mentioned in the previous post – I did find what seems to be a great Puritan commentary on Song of Songs.  It can be downloaded from www.puritansermons.com.

This is the comment of the person who maintains that site (a site well worth browsing): 

“Some time ago I came across a 1723 edition of Durham’s Commentary on the Song of Songs, and I fell in love with it immediately. I resolved to put the entire book on Fire and Ice. Great stuff, Christ-honoring, warm-hearted preaching. Wonderful.”

Personally – I am making plans to read this work.  Even though the allegoric method has fallen into disrepute, I do have a clear feeling that completely throwing it away is based on modern conceit, and has had some negative consequences for the Christian Church.

More on this in the future.  SHALOM!
