At Element, we believe the purpose of the book of the Song of Solomon is to show that the Bible does not see marriage as an inferior state or a concession to human weakness. Scripture does not see the normal physical love within a marriage relationship as impure. Marriage was instituted before the Fall, by God, with the command that the first couple become one flesh.
The Song of Solomon is an amazing book that has caused so much controversy that many have questioned whether it belongs in the Bible. Song of Songs is patently a collection of ancient Hebrew love poems celebrating the experiences of a lover and his beloved as they taste the beauty, power, agony, and joys of human sexual love.
