Bible Class for Adults and Youth: Beginner's Guide: Songs of Solomon

Sex in the Bible? Yes. For many it is a surprise to find a poem of love and sexual intimacy in the Bible. What should we do with this book? Some suggest that we read this book only from a symbolic and representative point of view of God's unconditional love for his people. Others think it is better to understand it as a manual for marriage and find in it a treasure trove of marital delights. Perhaps both approaches are valid. In any case, the Song of Songs is a magnificent illustration of physical love and its proper expression within the bonds of marriage as part of God's marvelous creation. In reading this book it may be helpful to understand that the images of beauty, charm and elegance contained within its pages are not to be analyzed, but to be appreciated intuitively. If you are married, reading it will encourage you to reflect on the level of intimacy and care that characterize your relationship with your spouse. If you are single, you can take seriously the final exhortation to chastity until marriage (Song 8:8-9). The Song of Solomon celebrates romantic and sexual love as a gift from God to be enjoyed in the context of marriage. Taking care of oneself sexually before marriage and enjoying fidelity within marriage are the results envisioned in this beautiful song: "My beloved is mine, and I am his" (The Bride in the Song of Songs 2:16-3:4).This Bible study series is perfect for Christians and non-Christians young and old.
