The Song of Songs
Song of songs is pervaded with metaphor and symbolism. Some interpreters, such as tremper longman, argue that the original song should be understood purely as love poetry. Even the language of the song is noteworthy with a greater density of unique words than any other book of scripture. It seems exotic, strange, foreign and often forbidding to many of its readers. Many readers may find themselves struck by its florid and startling imagery and metaphors.
