Eugene Peterson on the Song of Solomon:

The context in which The Song of Songs comes to us is also the context for its interpretation, and that context is the story of covenant, the relationship between lover and beloved, in which the lover is God and beloved is man, “male and female.” the erotic content must be read in the theological context. The ancients did not read the Song devotionally because they were embarrassed by its sexuality, but because they understood sexuality in sacramental ways. Human love took its color from divine love. Reductive secular exegesis of the the Song is an admission that our understanding of human love is unrelated to all that we have learned about God’s love. If we read the sexual language of the Song in terms different from the divorce court, the popular play, and the glossy magazine, that may not be evidence that we are afraid of sex, but that we are bold with God. —from Five Smooth Stones

Surely this is recapturing ground. Men cannot find fulfillment and fidelity in their sexuality outside of its divine design, and pretending it has no design, no clear connection to the calling of the creature to image the creator, leaves them aimless or trapped in the dead-end of immorality.
