The Love of Christ
A series of sermons on Song of Solomon 4:16-6:3, originally part of Bowels Opened, presenting the Song as a portrait of the mutual love between Christ and his church. Sibbes dwells on Christ's nearness, tenderness, and readiness to commune with the believing soul that longs for him.
Based on Bowels Opened: Sermons on the Song of Solomon (1639), by Richard Sibbes
