Dear Friend:

Thank you for your request for information concerning the Song of Solomon.

We do not have any literature which specifically explains this book of the Bible. However, it is translated more clearly in the Moffatt Bible. If you have access to this translation, it should be of help to you.

Briefly, the Song of Solomon was written by Solomon and illustrates a right and wholesome attitude toward the intimacies of normal MARRIED life. Its central theme is the wedding night and the love talk between a man and his bride.

Henry H. Halley, in his "Pocket Bible Handbook," states: "Its essence is to be found in its tender and devoted expressions of the intimacies and delights of wedded love." Some scholars believe this book has a dual purpose and spiritually also illustrates the intimate relationship Christ has with His Church (His Bride).

If you would like information concerning the God-ordained purposes of sex, please write for our book entitled THE MISSING DIMENSION IN SEX. This book is free of charge.

Thank you again for your interest. If we may be of further service, please let us know.
