Song of Solomon
The Song of Solomon, sometimes called the Song of Songs, is a beautiful and highly poetic book written in the style of a long love poem. It depicts the passionate and joyful relationship between a man and a woman, traditionally understood to be King Solomon and his beloved. The book uses vivid, often dramatic, imagery from nature to celebrate the beauty, intensity, and purity of romantic love and physical desire within the committed bond of marriage. While often interpreted spiritually as an allegory for God’s love for Israel or Christ’s love for the Church, its literal meaning celebrates human love as a good and sacred gift from God. The book emphasizes the importance of waiting for the right time for love to fully mature.
