For Daniel Fredericks, allowing the thematic words and phrases of
Ecclesiastes to speak with their Hebrew voices demonstrates its
affinity with the breadth of Old Testament legal, poetic, wisdom
and prophetic writings as well as the teachings of Christ and the
apostles. Ecclesiastes is found in the canon of Scripture because
it plays a significant role in a cumulative theology of the Old and
New Testaments. The beautiful and mysterious lyrics of The Song of
Songs have prompted a wide range of interpretations. Daniel Estes
reads the ancient song cycle in terms of its literary genre as
Hebrew poetry. By attending carefully to the literary features of
the text, he seeks to remain sensitive to the emotions that the
poet desired to express and to reproduce in the reader. At the same
time, he endeavours to hear the echoes of the Song as they resonate
within the larger context of the biblical canon, and to suggest how
its prominent theme of the nurture of intimacy can be applied to
life today.
