Brief Summary of The Song of Solomon

Like the Ecclesiastes and Proverbs this book also claims to be written by
Solomon. Solomon is known to have written over a thousand songs, (1 Kings 4:32)
but this was his “Song of Songs.”

The book is simply a romantic love poem describing the love of young
Solomon and a Shulamite maiden who became his first bride. In a secondary
sense, it may also be considered as a kind of the love of Christ to His church or the
bride of Christ.
