Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Homiletical Commentary on the Song of Solomon ´For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, bat the Spirit of God which is in him´ (I Cor. ii. 11). To obtain such teaching, however, we require to occupy a very humble place: ´Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes´ (Matt. xi. 25). It is, however, not only in reference to single passages that a great variety of opinions is often found to exist. The same variety is found in reference to the nature and object of the book itself; some, though few, strangely regarding it as merely treating of earthly matters, with only a moral object in regard to the conjugal relation (the profano-erotic or ethical view), while the great body of expositors, both ancient and modern, Jewish and Christian, have regarded it as a Divine allegory, exhibiting spiritual things under the veil of natural ones. Here, however, we again find diversity. First, as to the ground or basis of the allegory; whether it is based upon an actual occurrence - a historical basis; and if so, what? Or whether it is formed upon an ideal transaction conceived by the poet himself under the Spirit´s inspiration. Secondly, as to the spiritual meaning of the allegory; whether experimental in relation to the individual believing soul (the mystico-spiritual sense); or doctrinal, in relation to the Church as a whole (the mystico-doctrinal); or prophetical, whether in relation to the Church (the mystico-prophetical) ;or to Christ Himself (the typico-Messianic); or historical, in relation to the Church or nation of Israel (the mystico-political). To most of these applications of the allegory, few of which, perhaps, are entirely exclusive of the rest, reference will be found in the notes appended to the commentary. The author´s own view as to the basis of the allegory will be seen, both from the commentary and the introduction, to be rather that of Delitzsch, Zockler, and others; according to which, Solomon is regarded as having, during an excursion into the country, in which he was attended by his nobles, met unexpectedly with Shulamite while engaged in rural pursuits, and struck with her charms, having asked and obtained her hand, brought her to the palace as his bride. The incident, however, he considers to have been probably rather a conception of the inspired poet than an actual fact, or at least possessing but a very slight substratum of reality; a conception bearing a strong resemblance to that of one of our own English poets, who, in one of his Oriental Eclogues, written doubtless without the slightest reference to the Song of Solomon, makes Abbas, a Georgian king, to have done exactly the same with Abra, a shepherdess, what Solomon is supposed, according to this view, to have done with Shulamite.
