Hi, guys —

As a cradle Catholic I have often wondered how we, as Catholics, should approach The Song of Solomon and how it relates to the salvation story.

A quick answer on how to approach the book would be appreciated.

Thank you and God Bless.

Devon

Mary Ann replied:

Hi, Devon —

A good question. A very quick answer:

The book can be approached as the courtship of God and His People, and as the courtship of God and the soul. Human love is an analogue of divine love.

Marriage is the great mystery that images the story of salvation.
