Chicago Statement on
Biblical Inerrancy
- with Exposition...
...So history must be treated as history, poetry as poetry, hyperbole and metaphor as hyperbole and metaphor, generalization and approximation as what they are, and so forth.
Even the Chicago mob are willing to concede this - after all, nobody would say that the Song of Solomon is literally true. They may disagree with others about what is history or approximation or metaphor, but the text doesn't come with tags that tell us which is which, so it *must* be down to interpretation.
I say it is all hyperbole, poetry and metaphor, and should be treated as such. No problem
