Recently, I was grading some assignments for a seminary class that covered part of the Old Testament historical books (Samuel, Kings, Chronicles) and the Wisdom Books (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon). In one assignment, the student was to identify and record significant passages, doctrines, people, or actions in the book and list OT and NT cross-references. For Song of Solomon, one male student identified "breasts/chests." To be honest, I am not sure whether this should be categorized as a significant passage, doctrine, people, or action! Nonetheless, it provided a much needed chuckle for a day filled with grading.
