Song of Solomon (Overview)
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview, Steve Gregg delves into the Song of Solomon, a short but passionate love story between a man and woman in the Bible. The book uses sexually explicit language, metaphorical language, and depicts a monogamous, lifelong, covenanted relationship between the two characters. Although the book's non-linear structure and poetic language may be difficult for modern readers to fully understand, it is still relevant today as it celebrates love and passion between a married couple and reminds us that a properly celebrated sexual relationship can have a spiritual counterpart.
