The Song of Solomon or Song of Songs is the twenty-second book of the Protestant Bible. It is classified, with Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes, as part of the "wisdom literature." It is a celebration of sensual love, expressed in lyric poetry. It is traditionally interpreted as an allegory representing the love of Christ for the Church.
St. Bernard of Clairvaux wrote a cycle of sermons on the Song of Songs, which is regarded as one of the touchstones of Christian mysticism.
