"My thesis is that all scripture (at least all Jewish and Christian scripture) should be read literally, perhaps only literally. That means that literal reading is appropriate not only to the narrative portions of scripture, but also to such genres as psalmody, legal texts, allegories, and apocalypse. To defend my thesis I will discuss three issus : 'What do we mean by scripture?' 'What is history?' and 'What is a literal reading?' Answering those questions will allow me to say why scripture ought alwyas to be read literally." [Author]
