Song of Solomon
Song of Solomon is a lyrical celebration of love, intimacy, and desire within the covenant of marriage. Through poetic dialogue between lovers, it honors human affection while offering spiritual parallels to God’s love for His people. In Christian tradition, it’s also seen as an allegory of Christ and the Church (cf. Ephesians 5:25–27).
Author: Solomon – King and Poetic Lover
Solomon is credited with authoring this romantic song, one of 1,005 he reportedly composed (1 Kings 4:32). As a literary figure, he uses vivid metaphors, pastoral imagery, and emotional expression to capture covenantal love.
Time Period:
Biblical: Written in the early 10th century BC during Solomon’s reign
Scholarly: Generally affirmed as Solomonic, with stylistic elements typical of ancient Near Eastern love poetry
