Song of Solomon

The Song of Solomon is a garland of lyric love poems celebrating the delight, longing, and union of a bride and her beloved. Frank yet always dignified, it honors romantic and physical love within covenant commitment as a good and beautiful gift of the Creator. It moves through the seasons of love — yearning, seeking, finding, mutual praise, and belonging — and rises to a climax that declares love 'as strong as death,' an unquenchable flame. Its place in Scripture has also invited believers to hear in it echoes of the covenant love between God and His people, and between Christ and His church — a deeper music that never erases the Song's plain and joyful celebration of human love as God intended it.
