Which book is associated with the subtitle 'A Love Story'?

• A. Proverbs
• B. Ecclesiastes
• C. Song of Solomon
• D. Psalms

Answer: (C)

Romantic love is the focus here. Song of Solomon (also known as the Song of Songs) is a collection of lyrical poems that tell a story of courtship, mutual attraction, celebration of beauty, and a wedding consummation between two lovers. The entire text unfolds as a narrative through dialogue and imagery, centered on the emotional and physical aspects of love rather than on moral instructions, wisdom principles, or liturgical prayers. That strong, narrative emphasis on a love relationship is why it’s commonly described as a love story—the subtitle captures the natural arc of pursuit, longing, and joyful union that the book depicts.

Other books you might see in the same broad family of Wisdom literature focus on different aims: Proverbs offers compact sayings about practical living; Ecclesiastes wrestles with the meaning of life and human endurance; Psalms collects prayers and songs of praise or lament. None of these centers on a romantic narrative in the way Song of Solomon does, which is why the subtitle “A Love Story” fits this book best.
