The Song of Songs: A 7-Day Devotional

This article is part of the ESV.org Reading Plans series.

We Love Love

There is no shortage of love stories in books, movies, and songs. Culture loves love. But the greatest of all tales is told in Scripture itself.

In The Love of Loves in the Song of Songs, Phil Ryken says:

The best way to capture God’s vision for anything is simply to work through some relevant part of the Bible, letting God’s Spirit set the agenda through Scripture. When we turn to the Song of Songs, we encounter a love story told in the form of a love song that is part of the greatest love story ever told.
