Allegory

The Bible's one book of pure love poetry: the six-movement garden path from longing to the wedding to the seal upon the heart, the two refrains that carry it, and the church's two-thousand-year argument over what — and whom — it is really about.

Allegorical and natural, side by side against the same verses — the two-thousand-year argument over what the Song of Songs is really about, presented at full strength and attributed, not adjudicated.

Paul's most urgent letter, defended in three movements: his gospel from Christ not man, justification by faith not works of the law, and freedom lived by the Spirit not license.
