Sweeter Than Honey, Richer Than Gold: A Guided Study of Biblical Poetry (Reading the Bible as Literature)

This is the second of a projected six-volume series called Reading the Bible as Literature (the first volume being How Bible Stories Work). An expert at exploring the intersection of the Bible and literature, Ryken shows pastors and students and teachers of the Bible how to appreciate the craftsmanship and beauty of biblical poetry and how to interpret it correctly. Dr. Ryken goes one step further than merely explaining the genre of poetry_he includes exercises to help students master this rich literary treasure.
