Clavis Cantici

Description

In these pages, James Durham presents the traditional Reformed understanding of the Song of Songs as an allegory of that “divine mystery,” setting out “the mutual love and spiritual union and communion that is between Christ and His church, and their mutual carriage towards one another” in the hills and valleys of the Christian life. His view reveals this part of Scripture to be an experiential diagnostic of the Christian’s walk with God. As M‘Cheyne put it, 'There is no book of the Bible which affords a better test of the depth of a man’s Christianity than the Song of Solomon.'
