Summary

This quote suggests that interpreting the Bible metaphorically allows for a deeper understanding of God's truth, while taking it literally sheds light on the nature of humanity.

This viewpoint emphasizes the importance of approaching religious texts with an open mind and recognizing the multi-layered meanings and lessons they convey.
