Hello dear brothers Igzy and Ohio,

Is everything good between us regarding Song of Songs and which OT books are not quoted in the NT vs. which OT books are not quoted, alluded to, or contain verbal parallels with the NT? I hope all is good between us and I hope we are all reconciled on this point.

I was referencing the "Index of Allusions and Verbal Parallels" in the back of the USB4. According to this Index, Song of Songs is the only OT book which is neither alluded to in the NT nor contains any verbal parallels with any passages in the NT. As the example from the book of Obadiah showed, the scholar(s) who complied this index were fairly liberal regarding what constitutes an "allusion or verbal parallel". In spite of this fact, there are no entries for Song of Songs in this index. All that rich, poetic, symbolism and allegory in Song of Songs and neither Jesus nor His apostles ever touched it!
