Welwyn Commentary Series - Song of Songs - Under His Banner of Love
One of the most noticeable commentary trends of our day is the move away from the centuries of interpretation that identify the Song of Songs as being primarily about the relationship between the church (or the believer) and the Lord Jesus Christ. This commentary has the subtitle Under His Banner of Love, and begins with a list of quotations from such great saints as Augustine, James Durham, Richard Sibbes, Jonathan Edwards, John Newton and C H Spurgeon (among others). All these and many more believed as Richard Brooks does, that in this precious book we have a vital resource for the people of God, picturing the relationship between the believer and the Lord.
Richard Brooks studied theology at Cambridge and trained for the Christian ministry in Bristol. His pastorates included York Evangelical Church and The Dales Evangelical Church, Matlock. Married to Jennifer, they have four married sons and many grandchildren. Now retired, they live in Bromsgrove, where they are members of Welcome Hall Evangelical Church, Catshill.
