Truth: Literal or Literary?
Stumbled across this interesting article from the UK Times today: Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible.
Here's an example of the things that are said to be UNTRUE, i.e., not to be treated as "full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision:"
Genesis ii, 21-22. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; and the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the manLots of interesting reactions on the UK Times debate page for this topic. I can just imagine Theology classes all across the country reacting to this.
