About this book

John Gill's full commentary on the Song of Solomon, first published in 1728. Gill reads the Song as a song of Christ and His church, opening its images verse by verse with his immense learning in Scripture and rabbinic literature. Rich, deliberate, and deeply Christ-centered, it is a characteristic work of the great Baptist theologian of the eighteenth century.
