| | The oldest known interpretation of the Song (induced by the demand for an ethical and religious element in its content) is allegorical: the Midrash and the Targum represent it as depicting the relations between God and Israel. | | | The allegorical conception of it passed over into the Christian Church, and has been elaborated by a long line of writers from Origen down to the present time, the deeper meaning being assumed to be the relation between God or Jesus and the Church or the individual soul. | | | The unity of the poem is one of emotion—all the situations reflect the same circumstances and the same sentiments. |

| | As the author of the Song pleads the case for her protagonists in the "court of love," she is also pleading for open recognition of the marital partnership of the god and goddess—Yahweh and Asherah—as two aspects of the Source of life. | | | For the Song's original audience, her reference to the king's numerous female admirers might conjure the image of a harem, and—even before mention is made of Solomon's tapestries—those who were familiar with Solomon's reputation as a great lover might guess that he is the noble king in question. | | | Wherever the answer lies, the continuity of Asherah worship in Israel is a fact which must be recognized and remembered in any attempt to trace the subsequent role played by the concept of a female divinity in the popular religion of the people of Judaea and their heirs, the Jews. |

| | In the allegorical interpretation of the song, it makes no essential difference whether the bride is taken as a symbol of the Synagogue, that is, of the congregation of the Old Covenant or of the Church of God of the New Covenant. | | | Tradition, in harmony with the superscription, attributes the song to Solomon. | | | For the same expressions which, when referred allegoricallly to Christ and the Church, announce the strength of the love of God, are under ordinary conditions the utterances of a repellent passion. |

| | Historically, Judaism has seen this Song as being an analogy of the relationship between God and his people Israel; Christianity has seen it as being an analogy of the relationship between Christ and his church. | | | One Rabbi in fact says that while the books in the third section of the Hebrew bible are all holy “the Song of Songs is the most holy” (Rabbi Akiba: Beckwith 314). | | | If this IS the message of the most excellent Song of Solomon then it is one which is particularly relevant in our day, and the brevity of the book means that it is one which should be within the capability of all of us to read without difficulty. |

| | SONG OF SONGS in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online) |
| | Few interpreters have been found to follow Theodore of Mopsuestia and Lowth in their view that the Song celebrates the marriage of Solomon and an Egyptian princess; and Lowth's notion of a reference to the espousal of a church chosen from among the Gentiles is one of the curiosities of criticism. | | | In modern times interpreters have arisen who regard the Song as primarily the expression of strong and passionate human love between Solomon and a beautiful maiden, but by virtue of the typical relation of the old dispensation, secondarily, the fitting expression of the love of Christ and the church. | | | Christian scholars found it easy to follow the Jewish allegorical interpreters; for the figure of wedlock is employed in the New Testament by both Paul and John to represent the intimate and vital union of Christ and His church (2 Cor 11:2; Eph 5:22-33; Rev 19:7-9; 21:2,9 ff). |

| | The Song of Solomon is an echo from the time before sexual love was relegated to the realm of the profane: which is why it has been so difficult for so many people to read it as a poem that is at once sexual and spiritual. | | | The Song is designed to remind us of a time when our sacred role in the regeneration of life was thought to be the very heart of religion. | | | "Song of Songs," of course, refers to that that earthy little book of the Hebrew Bible where you've got two love stories going on at the same time -- you've got this sensuous love between human beings, and then you've got the sensuous love of these passionate souls for the land and its life. |

| | He also represents the Lord speaking to Israel's heart (Song 2:16) and changing her into a new spiritual people, purified by the Babylonian captivity and betrothed anew to her divine Lover "in justice and uprightness, in love and mercy" (Song 2:21). | | | The use of marriage as a symbol, characteristic of the Song, is found extensively also in the New Testament (Matthew 9:15; 25:1-13; John 3:29; 2 Cor 11:2; Eph 5:23-32; Rev 19:7-9; 21:9-11). | | | In Christian tradition, the Song has been interpreted in terms of the union between Christ and the Church and, particularly by St. Bernard, of the union between Christ and the individual soul. |

Pope (1977) translates it "the sublime song." | | | Parallels with Syrian wedding songs written in Arabic have been noted for centuries. |

| | Not all the harps of heaven can be more melodious than your song will be when your heart fully understands this fact—that Jesus Christ did actually stand in his people's stead, and finished transgression, and brought in everlasting righteousness for them. | | | On the strength of that covenant multitudes entered heaven before the great Surety had shed his blood; it was therefore a legitimate theme for holy song before the long appointed day had dawned. | | | The heavens were overcast, the clouds were dense, the sky was black, the sun was obscured, and albeit it is near Midsummer a chill came over us. |
