Who is the Shulamite?

Commentators offer two main views on the 'Shulamite.' Literally, she is likely a 'Shunamite,' a woman from the town of Shunem. Spiritually, her name is interpreted as representing the Church. Derived from words for 'perfection' and 'peace,' it signifies that the Church is made complete and finds peace not in herself, but in Christ.
