    John Gill preached 122 sermons on the Song of Songs on consecutive Sundays and published them, along with the Targum with his own notes.

    I figured one of the minor prophets, like Nahum. My pastor says Ruth is rarely preached from. The "whither thou goest|" passage is quoted at weddings, but that's about it. Come to think of it, I've never heard a sermon from Ruth or Nahum.

    Weird. I thought that many churches simply preached through the whole Bible in a 1-3 year cycle.
    Mine does.
    I'm used to preachers speeding up when they reach books that don't do much for them, but not to books getting ignored alltogether.

    Nahum is an awesome book with great messages therein. Surprised it is neglected.

    My vote is for "Song of Solomon".
    Don't think I've ever heard a sermon on it. Been to Bible studies that used Tommy Nelson's video series (which are very good btw), but apart from that nothing.
