Song of Songs
Autor Richard S. Hess, Tremper Iii Longmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mar 2017
--Mark S. Smith, Princeton Theological Seminary
"This is not just another commentary on the Song of Songs. While it interacts with other commentaries, it makes a unique contribution by reason of the technical skills and theological perspective of the author. A master of comparative Semitics, Hess is also well versed in historical and literary criticism as well as in the geography and archaeology of ancient Israel. He treats with great sensitivity the sexually explicit nature of this sensuous love poem that ultimately affirms the Bible's teaching that God is love. Hess skillfully demonstrates how the Song of Songs has an important role to play in the canon of Scripture."
--Philip J. King+, Boston College
"To comment on the book described by Jewish rabbis as 'the holy of holies' is risky: it is too easy to reduce its sublime poetry to banal prose. But Hess's daring has paid off. Here is a commentary on the Song of Songs that is sensitive, wise, and beautiful. Hess's thorough scholarship is worn lightly and is used to illuminate the text helpfully. Students, pastors, and scholars will find this commentary a rich resource."
--Gordon Wenham, University of Gloucestershire (emeritus)
"Hess's enthusiastic presentation and obvious labors furnish an undeniable contribution."
--Jennifer Pfenniger, Journal of Hebrew Scriptures
"I can only affirm my appreciation for this balanced, practical, and sensitive contribution to scholarship and the church. Hess's commentary will be my 'first stop' when seeking either detailed exegetical discussion or homiletical help for study and application of the 'best of songs.'"
--John W. Hilber, Bulletin for Biblical Research
"A helpful resource for students and teachers alike."

Textul de pe ultima copertă
"An accomplished, celebrative volume. . . . The author describes his method of interpretation as a culmination and combination of observed poetic form, themes, imagery, and distinct vocabulary. Accordingly, he provides helpful and extensive analysis of a passage's poetic structure. . . . He exudes also an admirable commitment to lexical detail, which is both informative and refreshing. . . . Hess's enthusiastic presentation and obvious labors furnish an undeniable contribution."
--Jennifer Pfenniger, Journal of Hebrew Scriptures
"Although Hess aims his volume . . . at scholars and those in ministry, he in fact makes this ancient love poem accessible to any reader of the Bible. . . . The textual notes that accompany the translation secure the reader's confidence that Hess's decisions are well informed. . . . Complementing his exquisite translation is the spirited language of the commentary. . . . This book is a pleasure to read."
--Craig E. Morrison, Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"Hess's highly regarded philological expertise is evident in the copious technical notes accompanying his translation, as well as in his clear discussion of many important lexical and grammatical issues in the main commentary. Readers will appreciate his aptitude for explaining features of Hebrew poetics and literary art in 'plain English.' Contemporary application abounds throughout his interpretation and in the sections designated 'Theological Implications.'. . . I can only affirm my appreciation for this balanced, practical, and sensitive contribution to scholarship and the Church. Hess's commentary will be my 'first stop' when seeking either detailed exegetical discussion or homiletical help for study and application of the 'Best of Songs.'"
--John W. Hilber, Bulletin for Biblical Research
"Throughout the commentary [Hess] weaves in intertextual references, thus relating the content of these poems with other biblical material. It is in the footnotes that Hess engages the insights from other commentators. Though the analysis here has been done with both care and skill, the text is quite readable. This book will be a helpful resource for students and teachers alike."
