Here, the influence of Origen is undeniable in the double application of the Song of Songs to the collective and the individual, i. Jerome is the focus of the sixth and final chapter. It may be difficult for us, modern-day readers, to imagine anyone not understanding the Song of Songs primarily as a poem on human love, with clear erotic undertones at that. Exactly how this interpretative tradition came to be in we must assume second-century Latin Christianity, remains one of the unanswered questions of scholarship on the Song of Songs.

Publisher Synopsis Most accounts of the history of exegesis of the Song of Songs in Western Christianity focus on the commentary tradition, assume that the book's erotic character was a problem to be overcome by imaginative allegorical reading, highlight the theme of the soul's mystical ascent to the divine, and acknowledge the great third-century Alexandrian theologian Origen as the dominant influence on the development of both patristic and medieval interpretations of the Song.
