#179: The Song of Solomon 1-8 | An erotic poem in the Bible?

from The Bible in Fewer Words · host Carole and Steve Wells

What's an erotic poem doing in the Bible? That's what everyone who reads the Song of Solomon must wonder. But believers have an answer for that. The Christian's say that it expresses Jesus's love for the church, while the Jews say it's God's love for Israel. Try not to think about that too much.
