Sinclair Ferguson on the Song of Solomon

"The theme of Canticles is this essentially; the Christians sense of the love of Christ and the effect of it in communion with Him by prayer and praises is divinely set forth in the book of Canticles. The church therein is represented as the spouse of Christ and as a faithful spouse she is always solitious about His love and rejoicing in it".
