Bible-believing Christians & Jews: How do you interpret the Song of Solomon, aka "Song of Songs"?
To my eyes, this is simply hot erotic poetry with an interracial theme, supposedly recording the love affair between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
However, I've seen Catholic writers who argue that the love poetry here reflects the spiritual relationship between Christ and the Church, and I believe some Orthodox Jewish rabbis say that it symbolizes the relationship between the soul and God.
What do you think of this book in the scriptures yourself?
Have you read it?
-- question from a mostly friendly agnostic & former Bible reader
I'm not sure where the idea that it deals with the Queen of Sheba comes from. It deals with a Shulammite girl (a country girl from Shunem, or Shulem) and her love for a shepherd boy; and King Solomon’s unsuccessful attempt to capture her love. The book illustrates the beauty of enduring and constant love, fidelity etc. It also shows that the Bible doesn't support prudishness as far as expressing affection. ;-P
