Levels of Meaning
Does the Bible have different levels of meaning? There is one level of meaning-the one tied to the historical-cultural and literary contexts. This meaning includes its meaning for the biblical audience and the theological principles behind that meaning. There can be different aspects of a text's meaning and even a number of principles behind those aspects. But there are not deep, "spiritual" meanings in the text that are unrelated to the historical and literary context.
