Literalisme biblis: Perbedaan antara revisi

Para literalis biblis percaya bahwa Alkitab harus ditafsirkan sebagai pernyataan-pernyataan harfiah penulisnya, kecuali nas tertentu yang jelas diniatkan penulisnya menjadi alegori, puisi, atau ragam sastra lainnya. Menurut para kritikus, maksud alegoris dapat saja ambigu. Umat Kristen fundamentalis biasanya memperlakukan ayat-ayat seperti [[Penciptaan menurut Kitab Kejadian|riwayat penciptaan di dalam Kitab Kejadian]], riwayat [[Mitos air bah|riwayat air bah]] dan [[bahtera Nuh]], serta umur bapa-bapa leluhur yang kelewat panjang pada [[silsilah-silsilah di dalam Kitab Kejadian]] sebagai fakta sejarah biasa, berdasarkan makna harfiahnya, demikian pula riwayat-riwayat [[Sejarah Israel dan Yehuda kuno|sejarah Israel Purba]], intervensi-invervensi [[supernatural]] [[Allah]] di dalam sejarah umat manusia, dan [[Mukjizat Yesus Kristus|mukjizat-mukjizat Yesus]].<ref>[http://www.cslewisinstitute.org/pages/resources/publications/knowingDoing/2004/Miracles.pdf#search=%22miracles%20C.S.Lewis%22 ''Pandangan C.S.

:WE AFFIRM the necessity of interpreting the Bible according to its literal, or normal, sense. The literal sense is the grammatical-historical sense, that is, the meaning which the writer expressed. Interpretation according to the literal sense will take account of all figures of speech and literary forms found in the text.
