    There is no book named "Solomon".

    The word 'salvation' appears 115 times in the OT and 43 times in the NT.

    "Salvation" is not specific to the Christian gospel, it is a general term with lots of applications.

    True, but there is one book attributed to him entirely (two if you're Catholic), and  two more to which he made significant contributions.
    Song of Songs (and the apocryphal Wisdom of Solomon) are supposedly his, as is most of Proverbs and quite a few Psalms. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at June 20, 2018 6:31 AM MDT

    I believe that is from the apocryphal book: Wisdom of Solomon instead of the biblical book: Song of Solomon.
