Good Morning, Sean and Tyler,
I look forward to seeing you at the preachers' meeting tonight. It is hard to believe that we are already half way through the course.
This is the first day of week 5. I will put up a new posting area right after this post.
Hope you have a great day!

I did not see a posting area at the time I was on here. I am taking a DVD course this time. The title is O.T. Survey: Poetry and Prophecy. The instructor is Dr. Garnett Reid. I will be watching three DVDs this week.
The first DVD was about the Song of Solomon. I was surprised to learn that it has been spoken against because of percieved erotic imagery. The Hebrew title is "Sng of Songs". It is also known as "Canticles" in Latin(Canticum Canticorum).
This book has quite a few different interpretations. The first is allegorical. The jewish tradition says that it means "God's love for Israel". The christian tradition says it means" Christ's love for the church". Typical interpretation is that it is based on a real event, but symbolizes Christ's love for the church. Dramatic interpretation thinks that it is made up for dramatic effect. There are even some who believe that it was a pagan story. The last one is literal interpretation. This means that this was a real story that celebrates intimacy in a monogamous marriage. I kind of like the typical interpretation, but how about you guys?
