Song of Solomon also known as Canticles. The most beautiful love story even told.
The deeper truth is it is about Christ our Shepherd (John 10:9) and HIS love for the elect Lady which comes from Israel.

The music, is relatively the main unread e book in my Bible, i've got purely examine it approximately 2times. It has spoken to me the least of all scripture, yet it is my concern, little doubt its inspired and holy. I even have heard that it represents Christ and The Church, yet this end comes from adult adult males, they may well be ideal, yet i would not be too dogmatic approximately it. The scripture would not mean that. Is it a parable because of the fact we expect of not something actual or organic will make it interior the Holy writ? that's sanctified in the process the Spirit.besides, pray for this pilgrim that I even have extra awareness of His be conscious.

Oh, yes, I have read the Song of Solomon.
Read and done a study on it.
~sigh~ I love the book.
EDIT
Daisy - I would agree with your thoughts. It does advocate a very healthy and fun sex life with your husband, from beginning to end.

It's one of my favorite books of the Bible!
You can see how much the Shulamite maiden is in love with the shepherd boy. She will not even pay another man any attention.
It speaks about true love!

Yes, several times.
Right now, it's text does not 'stand out' to me; although I do get the recent wonder if the 'female' part is a representation of the church (Jesus's bride) to the King; King Jesus.

Yes, I have read it. It is a beautiful metaphor using the passionate love of romance to describe the passion of God's love for us. Some people think it is too graphic. If you read the entire book; however, that is not the impression that you get.

it is symbolic for God's love of Israel and Israel's unfaithfullness. Though there have been many Christians over the centuries who wanted it removed from the Bible.

The Song of Solomon is a story of God's love for Israel. It is not dirty.
