NSFC: Spirituality, Sex, and Longing in the Song of Songs 6/6
Longing for Intimacy with God is Sexy. The sex described in the Song of Songs is neither transactional (the joining of families and property) nor procreative. It’s just the pure pleasure of wanting, enjoying, and wanting again the complete union of one person with another. The church has long interpreted this erotic state of being as a spiritual state of being. Human beings are made to long for connection with their Creator, and so the SoS is read as a love song in praise of the human and Divine as lovers, estranged but ready for passionate reunion.
