Summary "The Expositor's Bible: The Song of Solomon and the Lamentations of Jeremiah" by Walter F. Adeney is a scholarly biblical commentary written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the texts of two significant biblical books: "The Song of Solomon," often interpreted as a celebration of love and beauty, and "The Lamentations of Jeremiah," which laments the destruction of Jerusalem. Adeney delves into both literary structures and theological interpretations, aiming to uncover deeper meanings within these ancient texts. At the start of the commentary, the focus is primarily on "The Song of Solomon," where Adeney explores the poem's complex structure, its possible interpretations, and the contrasting themes it presents regarding love and fidelity against the backdrop of royal opulence and moral degradation. He introduces the perplexing nature of the text, discussing different scholarly perspectives on its unity and the identities of its characters. The Shulammite woman, who experiences the tension between her simple love for the shepherd and the advances of King Solomon, serves as a central figure. Adeney's analysis sets the stage for a deeper exploration of these themes throughout the commentary, while also preparing the reader for subsequent discussions on the poignant elegies found in "Lamentations."
