The Song of Songs has been embraced for centuries as the ultimate song of love. But the kind of love readers have found in this ancient poem is strikingly varied. Here, Pardes explores the dramatic shift from readings of the Song as a poem on divine love to celebrations of its exuberant account of human love.
