Old Writers this, Old Writers that. The Reformers also thought Paul was the author of Hebrews that doesn't mean we have to do. And if we are going to go this route perhaps

John, even if there isn't a marriage, that doesn't mean that it isn't about a man and a woman primarily. I'm not against using the text as an allegory [b:7f6c27d30c]at all[/b:7f6c27d30c] I'm against sweeping the poem's authors intent away as a secondary narrative. [/quote:7f6c27d30c]

I agree with you on this Ian, I think sometimes we read to much into scripture. I think The Song Of Solomon has a duel meaning. Some commentators even believe it may have been a play that King Solomon commisioned.
Never the less it obviously gives reference to Christ and The Church.
