I some recent threads there has been much said, about how a lot of the Bible should be interpreted allegorically. This is primarily centered on the OT in relation to creation and such.
Now I wonder if this allegorical approach, is considered by some modern day Christians as a way to look at some NT material as well. One thing that jumps out at me is the talk about Demons.
Demons get a few mentions in the OT but many more, from my reading, in the NT. Jesus was very adept at casting these nasty guys out of people and many preachers, (of the fundie variety), get on with this task with a gusto.
I wonder it we have some of the more progressive Christians here who would give us their angle on this.
