Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Johannes Hellberg <j.hellberg AT forsfak.been.o.se>]

I have not studied it thoroughly myself, but got it recommended by
colleagues. It is Murphy in the Hermeneia series (Fortress Press,
Minneapolis 1990). The Hermeneia series has got a good reputation as far as
I know.
He states that "the Hebrew Bible provides a coherent framework within which
one can interpret the Song as expressing a theology of human sexuality".

The commentary includes 100 pages of introduction and 100 pages of textual
commentary.

Roland . Murphy is a catholic scholar (O. Carm.).
