AU RELB Song of Songs Discussion

1. After reading Song of Songs, what is your take one this book?
2. How should we read this book (allegorically or literally)?

• Allegorical (Jesus – Church/you and I) => a highly spiritual book
• Literal (Solomon and his Egyptian wife) => an erotic book – sexually explicit

1. Should this book be in the Bible (Luke 24:27; 2 Tim 3:16-17)?

• If yes, why is this book in the Bible?
• If no, why not?

1. Is Yahweh mentioned in the Song?

=> Tension between what it is and how it functions as a religious book.
