Modern biblical literalism with its emphasis on factuality is not only very different from what “the literal meaning of a text” has meant for most of Christian history; it also has consequences that minimally are unfortunate and unnecessary and more seriously obscure and distort what the Bible and being Christian are about. Indeed, it discredits the Bible and Christianity in the minds of many people.
