Amore, Amicizia, Matrimonio e Sessualità nel Cantico dei Cantici. Aspetti esegetici, antropologici e teologici

Abstract

Schwienhorst-Schönberger surweys various biblical traditions regarding the figure of Solomon, especially in Song of Songs 8,11-12, the Book of Qohelet, and various reductional traditions. Solomon is alternatively treated in critical and praiseworthy terms, the former due to his intermarriages (which become linked to Israel's idolatry), the latter due to some strands of tradition regarding him as a proto-messianic figure. Within this matrix, one can see the scriptural authors affirming an ideal of personal versus hedonistic love, a helpful corrective and complement to contemporary popular ideas and psychological theories.
