Metaphorical:The emerging paradigm sees the Bible metaphorically, by which I mean its “more-than-literal,” “more-than-factual,” meaning. It is not very much concerned with the historical factuality of the Bible’s stories, but much more with their meanings. It is not bothered by the possibility that the stories of Jesus’ birth and resurrection are metaphorical rather than literally factual accounts. It asks, “Whether it happened this way or not, what is this story saying? What meanings does it have for us?”
