He when on to teach it is a magnificent metaphor for the relationship between God and His people. The strongest of all emotions is love, which is why it must find expression both in the sacred as well as the profane.

God revealed His Word to His people He is the groom, and we are the bride. The sensual parts of the book pose no problems because sex is not something to be dismissed or denigrated. Sex is beautiful, and anything created by God, cannot be dirty in and of itself.

Therefore the Song of Solomon speaks of breasts and scarlet lips, of comely mouths and of a loved one’s neck.

The Song of Solomon is not only part of the Bible but is read by religious Jews every Friday night as they prepare themselves for the spiritual ecstasy of the Sabbath.

Memory of conversation better?
