Subject: Why is "literal interpretation" the best |
Bible Note: Greetings John! Welcome to the forum! :-) If I may attempt to speak for Kalos, I think he is saying that the term 'literal' is often misunderstood. To take something 'literally' means to take it as it was intended. If it is a poem, we read it as a poem. If it was a hyperbole, we read it as a hyperbole. If it is narrative, we read it as narrative. So, in your example (Ps. 36:7), to read it literally is to read it as a poem. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
