Best Answer

The Jewish Academy established in Jamnia, near Jaffa, debated which of all the mass of ancient texts truly held God's authority and which, being merely the work of pious people, did not. Rabbi Akiva, a fierce conservative, saved the Song of Songs for The Bible holding that it was the holiest of all the scriptures, but forbade its singing in beerhalls. It has been suggested that the Song of Songs was originally the libretto of a small Opera of the day.

What three books did Solomon write that are included in the Old Testament?

The Books of Ecclesiastes, Proverbs, Solomon's Song and some of the Psalms have traditionally been attributed to King Solomon. However, modern scholars dismiss Solomon as the author of any of these, on linguistic, content and historical grounds. For example, they say that Ecclesiastes was actually written in the second century BCE, many centuries after the time of Solomon. King Solomon did not really write any book that is part of the Old Testament.
