Poetical Books

What pilgrim heading for the New Jerusalem hasn’t had bitter experiences and then found hope and strength by reading the book of Job and the Psalms? This book is an introduction to the poetic books of the Bible. It presents a brief synoptic study of Job, Ecclesiastics and Song of Songs, with analysis and notes for each Psalm. The author is interested in exploring the big questions. Why are Ecclesiastics and Song of Songs included in the Bible? The author of Ecclesiastics does not believe in immortality. Song of Songs is highly erotic and doesn’t mention the name of God. There are Psalms that are characterized by revenge, which is contrary to the nature of the New Testament. What is the divine message of these writings?
