Which of the following is NOT an alternate title for the book commonly known as Song of Solomon?

• A. The Book of Canticles
• B. The Song of Solomon
• C. The Gospel of Luke
• D. Solomon's Song

Answer: (C)

Many biblical books have more than one title, and Song of Solomon is one that does, reflecting different traditions and translations. This book, a collection of poetic love lyrics in the Old Testament, is known by several names that point to the same text: The Song of Songs, Canticles, The Book of Canticles, and Solomon’s Song. All of these refer to the same work, just using different phrasing or emphasis.

The Gospel of Luke, by contrast, belongs to a different part of the Bible—the New Testament—and is one of the four Gospels about the life of Jesus. It isn’t a title for Song of Solomon, so it’s the option that does not fit as an alternate title.
