From its recorded beginning before Christ, this biblical poem was
widely, and in fact exclusively, interpreted both by Jews and
Christians as a hymn of God's passionate love for his chosen
people. The Song of Songs is however a mysterious book, and the
more modern reading of it as a celebration of human erotic love has
largely displaced this older interpretation. Here, the author
presents a contemporary mystical reading, with reference to some
later Christian poetry, including John Donne, George Herbert and R.
S. Thomas.
