What is the key word of Song of Solomon?

• A. Love
• B. Faith
• C. Wisdom
• D. Hope

Answer: (A)

The songs in this book revolve around romantic love between two lovers, described with affectionate dialogue, admiration, and mutual delight. Because the poems repeatedly highlight longing, praise, and commitment within a loving relationship, the central idea that threads through the whole work is love. This makes love the best answer, since the text’s purpose is to depict romantic affection rather than focus primarily on faith, wisdom, or hope. While some traditions read it as an allegory of divine love, its surface level theme is indeed human love between a bride and groom. The other themes are more characteristic of other biblical books—their emphasis lies in faith, wisdom, or hopeful expectation, respectively.
