Book 22 - The Song of Solomon

The Song of Solomon is appreciated for its celebration of human love and marriage, its use of rich, poetic imagery and metaphors, and its exploration of themes like mutual admiration, commitment, and the joy of intimacy within a marital context. Its appreciation also lies in its symbolic representation of divine love; how God loves His people - those who keep their promises - and its ability to inspire art and literature across various cultures.

This 22nd Book included in the classic scriptures uses elaborate metaphors, often drawn from nature and gardens, to describe the beauty and vitality of love, echoing the Garden of Eden and suggesting the purity and joy of love before sin.
