Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Song of Solomon about?+

The Song of Solomon is a poetic book in the Old Testament that celebrates romantic love between two people. It uses rich imagery, metaphors from nature, and dialogue to express love, desire, and devotion. While interpretations vary among scholars and theologians—some read it literally as a love poem and others see it as an allegory for God's love for Israel or the Church—the text itself is a beautiful and unique piece of biblical literature.

Who wrote the Song of Solomon?+

The Song of Solomon is attributed to King Solomon in the text itself (1:1: 'Solomon's Song of Songs'), though scholars debate the actual authorship and dating. Many scholars believe it was likely composed by an unknown author sometime between the 3rd-5th centuries BCE and later attributed to Solomon due to his historical reputation for wisdom and wives. The true authorship remains unknown.

How many speakers are in the Song of Solomon?+

The Song of Solomon primarily features two main speakers: the beloved (often a young woman) and the lover (often a young man), though some passages may include other voices like the daughters of Jerusalem who serve as a chorus. Different Bible translations may use headers to identify speakers, but identifying speakers requires careful attention to the pronouns and context in the original Hebrew text.
