Question

A commentary on this book was written to refute the Tondrakeans by Gregory of Narek. This book corresponds to epoptics, following books corresponding to ethics and physics, according to Origen’s influential commentary and homilies on this book. Pius IX’s encyclical defining the Immaculate Conception finds typological evidence for it in this book’s reference to a “tower of David… on which hang (15[1])a thousand (*) bucklers.” Bernard of Clairvaux’s allegorical sermons on this book (10[1])popularized (10[2])the view that it was about Jesus Christ and the soul, (10[3]-5[1])developing Origen’s (10[1])view that it was about Jesus and the Church. (-5[1])This book (10[1])repeats the phrase, “Behold, (10[1])you are beautiful,” and it declares, “I am black and beautiful.” (10[1])For 10 points, name this poetic book of the Old Testament about a Bridegroom and a Bride.
