아가의 사랑

The Bible's celebration of romantic love between a bride and groom, traditionally attributed to Solomon. The Song of Songs is frankly sensual poetry celebrating physical attraction, desire, longing, and consummation within the covenant of marriage. Its inclusion in Scripture affirms that human love and sexuality are gifts from God. Song 8:6-7 declares, 'Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave... Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.' Jewish and Christian traditions have also read the Song allegorically — as God's love for Israel or Christ's love for the church — finding layers of meaning that enrich devotional reading.
