What's Love Poetry Doing in the Bible? (Making Sense of Song of Songs), #587

Java with Juli - Making Sense of God and Sex

Lips that drip liquid myrrh, cheeks like beds of spices . . . what on earth is happening here? This week, we're making sense of the metaphors in Song of Songs. Find out how this bizarre (to us) love poetry shows us that God is wholeheartedly, enthusiastically, and unequivocally in favor of out-of-this-world sexual pleasure in marriage.
