Christian exegesis of the Song of Songs has long interacted
creatively with - and, more recently, reacted critically against -
the allegorical interpretation developed by Origen of Alexandria
(c.185-c.254) in his Commentary and two Homilies on the Song of
Songs. Interest in Origen's exegesis of the Song's narrative
elements has dominated past scholarship, which has almost entirely
ignored how Origen assesses the Song itself, in its unity as a
revealed text. This study aims to show that the Commentary and
Homilies - when read in light of Origen's hermeneutic, his nuptial
theology, his understanding of the prophetic mediation of inspired
texts, and his doctrine of last things - clearly portray the Song
of Songs itself as the divine Bridegroom's perfect marriage-song.
As such, it mediates Christ's eschatological presence, as the
spirit' of Scripture, in and through the intelligible structures of
the text itself.
