The Song of Songs

These eight sermons became a landmark in Rev. Williamson's preaching ministry to his congregation and are presented here as a source of blessing to others.

"In my early ministry, I said one time that the whole Bible is the Word of God, and we should not be afraid to preach on any part of it, and I'm willing to do it. And what do you think happened then? Right away somebody said, 'Okay, preach on the Song of Solomon.' I can understand why preachers tend to shy away from it—because it's not easy to preach on a book about sex and marriage. It's especially difficult when you face a whole congregation of people of different ages. But I had to keep my word, and I'm glad I did!
In my half-century of experience in the ministry I still look back on that series of sermons as unique. Through the entire series the eyes of the people were riveted on their preacher. You could hear a pin drop in the auditorium. And everyone—from eight to eighty—was there to hear these sermons. I cannot adequately express the sense of wonder that I felt in preaching these messages." —G. I. Williamson
