Interpreting Scripture Allegorically

This chapter explores the concept of interpreting Scripture allegorically, using an example from Galatians to illustrate how allegorical interpretations can add deeper layers of meaning without negating the literal truth of the narrative. It discusses the different senses of interpreting scripture, including the literal, allegorical, moral, and anagogical senses, emphasizing the importance of understanding beyond surface-level reading to grasp the profound messages and lessons within the text.
