THE SONG OF SOLOMON

I. _Author._

II. _Names:_

(1) Song of Solomon.

(2) Song of Songs.

(3) Canticles.

Give the meaning of each.

III. _General Description:_

It is probably an allegorical drama. It pictures the love of Solomon to
a princess, typifying, as many believe, the love of Christ to the
Church. Read Ephesians 5 and be prepared to answer questions thereon.
Richard Moulton describes it as containing seven idyllic poems.

IV. _Words of Explanation:_

1. Its Oriental tinge must be remembered. In the Occident uncovered
breasts would be an impropriety, but not in the Orient.
