About this book
Old TestamentSong of Solomon — Love poetry in eight chapters — the Bible's most surprising book. A chiastic structure; a bride and bridegroom alternating in dialogue; and a three-school interpretive tradition the site surfaces without adjudication.
- Author
- Traditional: Solomon (1:1 ''the song of songs, which is Solomon's''). Critical: the ''of Solomon'' construction allows ''about Solomon'' or ''to Solomon'' and opens the authorship question. §7.9 surfaces; most readings keep Solomonic association.
- Date
- Solomonic reading: c. 965–930 BC. Critical reading: later editorial compilation.
