Commentaries on the Song of Songs: First Volume - Hardcover

by Alfonso Gálvez (Author), Michael Adams (Translator)

The Commentaries on the 'Song of Songs' contain the most profound spiritual doctrine of Fr. Alfonso Gálvez. A devoted scholar of classical spiritual works, Fr. Gálvez combines the best of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, and many other authors in a modern-day exploration of man's path to God, expressed in his commentary on the Song of Songs. Hundreds of citations from the Bible, medieval and modern theologians, lyrical poetry, and church documents enrich his description of such profound spiritual theology themes as Christian joy, the night of the spirit, and the imitation of Jesus. It is a profound work of theology that reflects profound conviction and uncommonly deep wisdom. Written in an accessible language, it is perfect for anyone earnestly seeking a better understanding of the relationship between God and Man.
