Introducing the Song of Songs, the Bible's take on erotic literature. It’s a bit of an odd one out in the Bible: there’s no storyline, no clear reference to God, and certainly no fire and brimstone - as you’d expect. Instead, it’s one elegant love poem, where a young couple expresses their desire for one another.
It’s arguably the finest example of ancient Hebrew poetry we have, although contains some unusual metaphors. From describing a lover's hair as "like a flock of goats", to her neck being "like the tower of David"; taking it literally, we get a bizarre, amusing, and unnerving picture.
In biblical scholarship today, the Song of Songs has been viewed within its historical context. In fact, plenty of the neighbouring civilisations in the ancient Near East had their own love poetry.
I really hope you enjoyed this one, I'd thought that I'd make something to mark Valentine's Day. How you like these weekly uploads? Thank you for 540k subscribers!

I'm curious if it has to do with the early church's connections to Greek philosophy. Gnosticism has always been a thorn in the side of Christianity, which teaches that the body is impure and dirty and the soul/spirit is holy and pure. The bible never teaches that sex within the confines of marriage is impure or immoral, but is something to be enjoyed. God's first commandment to Adam and Eve is to be fruitful and multiply.

Not a long time ago I was reading this book about Hebrew alphabet and the author has quoted the same love poem that has been talked about in this video (which I really enjoyed, as always!:D) I will never forget this scholar said there that she has been confused for a really long time about the breast metaphor: but one of her students came to her and said "maybe the writer used it to represent the movement of a woman's breast while walking and/or running since there were no bras at the time, they were for real free to move and jump like fawns!". This interpretation stuck in my mind so fast and It is perfectly explanatory to me! About the David's tower neck metaphor (this is just my idea), I think the author is just saying that her loved one has no fear of her femininity and that she is strong and proud of who she is, because It is easy to picture the opposite: an old lady has usually a curved neck and back and she is fragile and her figure is used as an image of lost beauty. Let me know what you think about these interpretations!:)

As someone who had read the Song of Songs, I agree that the descriptions were very... interesting. I think that was one of the reasons why I love Song of Songs out of most of the Bible. My parent is religious, and they sometimes respond to moments with Song of Songs, to a point, I have somewhat memorised the entire structure of the entire Poetry.

I grew up on science fiction & a little bit of fantasy, so when I would get bored during a sermon in church I would read Revelation, starting AFTER the part where he just talks about all the churches. Had to get right to the action! If I thoughtfully nodded on occasion, then my grandmother would get compliments on my behavior, too! Bonus! I think it was Piers Anthony who wrote a series based on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or at least starting there but it is been a long time since I've read those. Never in church though. By that time there was too much note-passing going on amongst the youth group so I never got bored again.

I believe that the line discussing that “love is greater than death” can be a reference/prophecy of the death of Christ and His resurrection. Christ followers, such as myself, believe that Christ’s death conquered death, or an eternity of suffering in hell, and allowed us to have eternal life with God in heaven. With that being said, many of the songs in The Song of Songs (aka Song of Solomon) are actually worship songs; celebrating God’s glory and love and describing what a relationship with Him should be/feel like. For me, it is very hard to understand the use of love in a sexual connotation, but I also remember that love had many different meanings then and even different cultural understandings of the word too. Those are just my thoughts though!

The Compendium (Bible) is a collection of books that were popularly accepted by Jews/Christians. Ruth, Esther, Song of Songs(etc) were popular literature and included in our religious texts for both spiritual & everyday entertainment.

Please do a vid on the Rosicrucians sometime!! Very unknown and really intersting history about them, would make for a great show of art as well!! They were also very spirited into the aspects of pair bonding and displayed cult like behaviors relating to love.
