The Song of Songs, also known as the Song of Solomon, is an unusual
book to find in the Bible. As the Bible's only love poem, the Song
offers a unique picture of relations between the sexes in biblical
times. Unlike other biblical books, it consists entirely of
dialogue. It looks at love from both a woman's and a man's point of
view, and shows the reader what love is like exclusively through
what lovers say about it. There are few issues in Song of Songs
interpretation that are not open to debate, which makes it a
fascinating book to study. In this Guide, Cheryl Exum provides a
concise survey of the principal questions encountered in Song of
Songs scholarship. She also takes the discussion beyond the
traditional research questions to introduce readers to new and
ongoing areas in Song of Songs research. Bibliographies and
suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter provide
additional resources for readers interested in pursuing specific
topics and exploring new directions in the study of the Song of
Songs.
