(This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "The Song of Songs" by Christian D. Ginsburg is a scholarly commentary on the ancient Hebrew text traditionally attributed to Solomon, likely written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the deep significance, historical context, and moral lessons contained within the poem, exploring themes of love, temptation, and fidelity through the narrative of a Shulamite woman who remains true to her beloved shepherd despite the allure of royal power and wealth. The opening of this commentary sets the stage for a comprehensive analysis of the biblical text, expressing the author’s intent to elucidate its true meaning through historico-grammatical exegesis. Ginsburg outlines the narrative in which a shepherdess, caught between her love for her shepherd and the advances of King Solomon, exemplifies virtue and fidelity. Despite being tempted by opulence and prestige, she steadfastly chooses to reject the king’s offers, ultimately remaining faithful to her heart’s desire. Through this allegorical interpretation, the author illustrates the broader spiritual struggle faced by individuals in their relationship with the divine, establishing the Book’s relevance to understanding moral integrity and the human experience.
