Description
Résumé:The Song of Songs has inspired numerous interpretations throughout history, ranging from mystical visions of God’s union with his people, to practical guidelines for marriage. This article examines the text from the perspective of Pentecostal hermeneutics, following the insights of early Pentecostal preachers and contemporary Charismatic leaders to showcase the Song of Songs as a story about the pathos-filled relationship of God and humanity. Through dialogue with these sources, biblical scholarship, and the philosophical hermeneutic of Ernesto Grassi, this article takes an inter-disciplinary approach to argue that the Song exists as a space within Scripture for prayerful dialogue. It will focus on the way that Scripture facilitates communion with God. Thus, the purpose of this article is not only to explore Spirit-filled interpretation of the Song of Songs, but through these interpretations, to theologize about the nature of the Bible itself.
