TOTC Song of Songs by Iain M. DuguidMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Granted, I haven't read too many commentaries on this greatly neglected book, but I can honestly say from a stand point of reading many commentaries in general, this one is a definite keeper! Duguid's treatment of the subject matter is straightforward, easy to understand, and makes sense! We decided to go through the Song of Songs (or Solomon depending on your preference) with our students in our campus ministry during the month of February and I used this commentary as a guide to help navigate the confusing paths that one ventures through when reading wisdom literature, let alone poetry. Since this is a combination of the two, you can imagine just how confusing it can be to try to understand what the author is trying to say. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend you check this out if you are looking to learn more about this book. Don't shy away from it! It's included in our Scriptures for a good reason, and I believe that Duguid has compiled an amazing resource to help guide us through the various interpretive barriers that we face reading it from a western, 21st century civilization point of view.
