Christian interpretations of the "Song of Songs" have long depended upon the allegorical reading developed by Origen of Alexandria (c185-c254). This study aims to show that Origen's Commentary and two Homilies on the "Song of Songs" portray the "Song of Songs" as the biblical book that reveals the 'spirit' of Scripture with greater intensity.
