J. Cheryl Exum locates that genius in the way the Song not only tells but shows its readers that love is strong as death, thereby immortalizing love, as well as in the way the poet explores the nature of love by a mature sensitivity to how being in love is different for the woman and the man. Many long-standing conundrums in the interpretation of the book are offered persuasive solutions in Exum's verse by verse exegesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Old Testament Library provides fresh and authoritative treatments of important aspects of Old Testament study through commentaries and general surveys.
