OLOJEDE, Funlola. What of the night? Conceptions of night in Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs. Scriptura [online]. 2017, vol.116, pp.148-159. ISSN 2305-445X. http://dx.doi.org/10.7833/116-2-1325.
This article investigates the conceptions of night in the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs in the light of the theology of night in the book of Job and the Psalter. It is noted that though some levels of correspondence are observable in the understandings of night in Proverbs-Ecclesiastes-Song of Songs and in Job-Psalter, the points of divergence are stronger. Whereas a strong feminist case can be made regarding the depictions of night especially in Proverbs and Song of Songs, evidence from Job-Psalter differs. In contrast, the unmistakable focus on God in the Job-Psalter conceptions of the night is completely absent in Proverbs-Ecclesiastes-Song of Songs.
