Against literalism
Commonweal, August 17, 2007 by Joseph Gentilini
As a gay Catholic, I found myself agreeing with Luke Timothy Johnson's view. Scripture is vitally important in helping us know the will of God, but a literal reading misses the spirit of its larger message. To read Scripture literally is to follow all the Scriptures, including those about not lending money with interest, not eating shellfish, not having intercourse during a woman's menstrual period, and not allowing divorce and remarriage.
