Von Rad (1901-1971) was a major contributor to Old Testament studies following the literary-critical tradition of Wellhausen and the form-critical and traditio-historical approach of Hermann Gunkel as developed by Albrecht Alt and Martin Noth. The Bible for von Rad, in the final analysis, is neither history nor literature, but rather the confessions of a community.

This original commentary foregrounds at every turn the poetic genius of the Song of Songs, one of the most elusive texts of the Hebrew Bible. 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.
