Book • 2023

The Song of Songs is a unique book in the Bible, consisting of eight chapters of love poetry.

It describes the courtship, marriage, and the ongoing relationship between a man and a woman, often interpreted as a symbol of divine love.

The book is divided into sections that address courtship, the wedding, and various aspects of married life.

It is known for its vivid and passionate language, emphasizing the beauty and goodness of marriage.

Historically, it has been interpreted in several ways, including allegorical views representing God's love for Israel or Christ's love for the Church, as well as a straightforward celebration of human love within marriage.
