How should the days of Genesis 1 be understood? Lewis presents a historical survey of how these days have been interpreted in Scripture, early Jewish interpretations, early Christian interpreters, allegorical interpretation, literal interpretation, rabbinic interpretation, etc.

This article is about the literal interpretation of Scripture. Does the text always justify a literal reading? Can all prophecy be read literally and still make sense? And what about Scripture's own focus on typology?

This article is about the relation of the Jews to the Israel of Scripture. The literal interpretation of prophecy with regards to the texts about Israel and Jerusalem is also discussed. Other topics mentioned are the future of the Jews, "all Israel" and the state Israel.
