Song of Solomon: Love Poetry of the Spirit

lawrence boadt john updike

The Song of Solomon is unique among the books of the Bible in that its central theme is the celebration of erotic love. In this book, Biblical scholars look at the bride who declares her desire and admiration for her lover while the bridegroom expresses his delight in the supreme physical beauty of his bride as the Daughters of Jerusalem watch. The complete text of the Song of Solomon is reproduced here from the classic King James Version of 1611.
