Guide to Song of Solomon
From RationalWiki
<cue Marvin Gaye>
Also known by its alternative title, "Scriptural Sexytime Hawtness," the Song of Solomon follows the relationship of a man and a woman from courtship to (ahem) knowledge in the Biblical sense. The book is often interpreted as allegorical, representing the relationship between God and the Israelites and/or Christ and the church. However, a more literal reading of the text leaves little doubt as to what's gettin' on.
Although the more boorish voyeurs will be disappointed in the book, it contains several beautifully poetic pick-up lines. Be warned, rational ladies!
