The Greatest Story Ever Told Session #14: Song of Songs, Wisdom of Solomon

(Listen to this session here).

We continue with the fourth section of the Old Testament, Wisdom Literature.  Session #14 features the Song of Songs and the Wisdom of Solomon.  In the first we find erotic love poetry that captures the beauty of the love of a man and a woman.  At a spiritual level, Song of Songs portrays in a metaphorical way the love God has for His bride.  In the Wisdom of Solomon we see an advanced form of Wisdom Literature that explicitly connects human wisdom with the wisdom afforded by God.
