Writing at Stand to Reason, Greg Koukl addresses the common question of whether we ought to read the Bible literally. He demonstrates the complexity of the question, highlighting the fact that nobody reads anything literally 100% of the time. In the process he shows how important it is to grasp the author’s intentions. We must read a Bible text the way the author would have wanted us to read it.
Koukl addresses some common objections and then ends with practical tips on how to best understand metaphors.
His counsel is both sound and practical, and I commend it to you. Check it out!
