On the basis of the ancient Near Eastern context, the book has been construed as a sacred marriage text (like the Inanna/Dumuzi texts), as a royal love song (like the Sumerian royal love songs), as a ritual text (like the Babylonian "love lyrics"), and even as secular love poetry (like the...

| description | On the basis of the ancient Near Eastern context, the book has been construed as a sacred marriage text (like the Inanna/Dumuzi texts), as a royal love song (like the Sumerian royal love songs), as a ritual text (like the Babylonian "love lyrics"), and even as secular love poetry (like the Egyptian love songs).2 Moreover, those oft-belittled allegorical approaches-which interpret the book as a portrait of God's love for Israel or the church-nowadays appear more sensible, not only because postmodern readers no longer feel so constrained by notions of authorial intent but also because, historically speaking, it was perhaps through allegorical readings that the book entered the Hebrew canon in the first place. The text begins with the bride's trek from the harem to the throne room, reflects on the king's courtship of the young woman, relates an account of the wedding itself, and follows with a description of the marriage's consummation and of the subsequent intimate relationship enjoyed by the king and queen. |
