God’s Word, Your Guide

Augustine said, “Where Scripture speaks, God speaks.” The Christ-Centered Exposition authors agree. We believe the Word is God-breathed, authoritative and timeless, so we strive to handle text carefully and accurately. This devotional-style commentary series provides pastors with a practical application of God’s written word, exalting Jesus as the hero of every book.

Review


Few books of the Bible offer greater difficulty and more reward for a pastor than the Song of Songs. Danny Akin, with the skill of a theologian and the sensitivity of a pastor, deftly balances the practical, Christological, and poetic nuances of this incredible book. Every pastor will want to have this volume on his shelf. Teaching Solomon’s majestic song, in the manner God intended, will provide a richly rewarding experience for any church.
 
J.D. Greear, Ph.D., Author of Jesus, Continued…Why the Spirit Inside You Is Better Than Jesus Beside You and Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary
 


It's one thing to know Bible stories; it's another to know the story of the Bible. It's one thing to be aware of the story's many heroes; it's another to have met the Hero himself. From the Old Testament that anticipates him, to the Gospels that manifest him, to the Book of Acts that proclaims him, to the Epistles that explain him, and to the Book of Revelation that tells of him coming again, your Bible is about Jesus. That's why I love the vision of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. It models for preachers and teachers how to proclaim—with pastoral focus and exegetical care—the beauty of the gospel from every page of Scripture.

Matt Smethurst
Associate Editor for The Gospel Coalition

Few things are more important for faithful biblical interpretation than reading Scripture in light of its master narrative. The Christ-Centered Exposition series aims to do just that.  In a postmodern age, these commentaries provide pastors and lay people an invaluable resource that is unswervingly committed to the authority of Scripture and the centrality of the Gospel in the Bible’s storyline.

I must confess that I've read through Song of Songs numerous times without giving it much extra thought. Yes, it is beautiful and even titillating. But not much else has ever come to me beyond that. Daniel Akin has opened my eyes to a deeper, richer understanding of this wonderful, little book. Dr. Akin manages to accomplish two goals very well in his exposition: He presents a scholarly treatment of the book within the context of Solomon's day with its rich metaphors and vivid imagery as well as within the context of the Bible as a whole. In addition he has written his commentary as a practical guide to marriage. I recommend churches using this book not only with the married of their congregations, but also with their college students and singles. Akin shows us a beautiful, inspirational view of marriage, undoing much of the damage and disillusionment with which our culture has poisoned its view of marriage. And there is much practical application material to use with married couples.

As we know from Ephesians, Revelation, etc. relationships between Christ and the church is that of husband and wife. In every passage Dr. Akin draws out the many parallels that point us to Christ and his church. Enthusiastically recommended.

“Exalting Jesus in Song of Songs” provides food for the head and heart. Each unit includes a section dealing with the text, a practical applications section, a section called “How Does This Section Exalt Christ?” and “Reflect and Discuss” questions. The book has many illuminating illustrations, and is sprinkled with humor. The “Gallantry is a virtue that dare not speak its name” illustration was one of my favorites, and the cats and dogs list was hilarious. Well done.

Mr Akin does a great job here. Each section goes into exploring the text: context, setting, cultural references. Then he gives a lot of practical suggestions for applying what were reading. He ends each chapter with how the song really reflects Christ and our relationship with him as our bridegroom. An excellent guide.

If you want a man/male centered view of Song of Solomon then go ahead and get. There are some good parts (outlines; quotes; seeing JC) but tough to find a redemptive tone.
