The Song, so called, here consists of words to be read aloud. It is a collection of parts intended for recitation. A large section of the "Song", in "remastered" form, is a story in a form that can be re-enacted. It is "remastered", like getting a good "master" copy for music, because it is put back in the form it was intended to be in. Will this be accepted in proven religion? I present this book as a challenge to those that have never considered...

Description
This book, also called the Song of Solomon, is one of the most neglected - and controversial - books of the Bible. It is a book about lovemaking from an author who had 700 wives and 300 concubines. So explicit are these aspects that because of its erotic content, the rabbis forbade the book to be read by anyone under the age of 30. Almost every verse has been the subject of debate by its interpreters. Probably no other book of the Bible has such a...
