About this listen
Through my studies and experience, I have come to understand that the Song of Solomon is not solely an allegory of the relationship between Christ and the Church, as many scholars, including St. John of the Cross and Bernard of Clairvaux, have suggested. These authors have contributed a rich allegorical tradition, but I believe that we should also value the literal interpretation that celebrates conjugal love.
This approach not only highlights the beauty and purity of romantic love, but also offers a practical and uplifting vision for contemporary Christian marriages. By exploring themes of love, desire, and sexuality from a theological perspective, we seek to demystify and destigmatize these essential aspects of married life.
As the author of over two hundred books and with decades of experience in family counseling, my goal is to provide comprehensive guidance that promotes the emotional, physical, and spiritual health of couples. My interpretation of the Song of Solomon is based on a careful and thoughtful reading of the text, supported by contemporary and ancient studies, which validate the importance of healthy and sacred intimacy in marriage.
Anticipating criticism, I lean into the conviction that a deep, literal understanding of this biblical book can offer a paradigm shift in the way believers view love and intimacy. As theologian Barry Webb suggests, the Song of Solomon celebrates the beauty of the loving relationship in all its dimensions, reflecting God's design for marriage.
This book, therefore, is an invitation to married couples to explore and rediscover the richness and depth of conjugal love, drawing on biblical teachings and a renewed vision that embraces both the spiritual and the earthly.
The Song of Solomon, composed of a series of love poems, is a literary gem that depicts the beauty of human love and physical attraction within the context of marriage. This approach challenges traditional allegorical interpretation, opening the door to a fuller and richer appreciation of the text. Contemporary scholars, such as Barry Webb and Phyllis Trible, support the literal interpretation of the Song of Solomon, highlighting its relevance to marriages today.
