Song of Solomon

“Do not stir up or awaken love in the wrong circumstances, and be utterly committed to the right kind of love, because God’s love is protective and his jealousy is fierce.”

Matthias Bible Guides assist in personal and group study of various books of the Bible, one book at a time. In this volume, Old Testament scholar Kamina Wüst takes us deep inside the Song of Solomon, a mysterious, evocative and sometimes neglected part of Scripture. Deftly guiding us through the Song of Solomon’s poetic expression of truth, Kamina reveals the Song as a powerful call for God’s people to guard their hearts, stay faithful to the Lord, and trust the one whose love leads us to our real ‘happily ever after’.

Kamina Wüst studied at Queensland Theological College before attaining a PhD from Moore Theological College. She also holds university qualifications in drama and music. Her PhD thesis was entitled The Song of Songs in the Hebrew Bible: Inner-Biblical Allusions Embodied by Solomon and the Daughters of Jerusalem, exploring previously under-recognised connections between the Song and other parts of the Bible. She is regularly invited to consult for churches on teaching the Song of Songs, in addition to lecturing by invitation at theological colleges and conferences. She has worked as a freelance writer and editor since 2016, most recently publishing a set of studies on the Song in Matthias Media’s Pathway Bible Guide series. Kamina lives in Brisbane, Australia with her husband (who is also a writer).

Matthias Bible Guides exist to help Bible teachers of all levels engage with the word of God and prepare themselves to teach the Bible to others. This series is for the Bible study leader who wants to equip himself or herself to prepare and lead studies that are faithful to the Scriptures and to answer questions with confidence. It’s for the busy preacher who’s faced with the wonderful but daunting task of writing a new sermon series. And it’s for any interested Christian who wants a reliable companion as they read through a book of the Bible, alone or with others.
