I will now not discuss so called "liberal theologians", that is students of Bible which don't believe in Bible inspiration and may not even believe in God's existence. I will tell about theologians which like me believe in biblical inspiration.
Even if they believe that Bible is inspired by God, their revelation is partial, as it is limited by understanding of ancient Jewish culture: Such things as planes, atomic energy, Big Bang, etc. cannot enter into their revelations. So they have just a half (and proibably probably worst half) of biblical revelation.
The author of this blog post, as you have probably already guessed is in the "literalist" camp. We believe that Bible (being word of God) should be interpreted by its literal sense even in the case if the human author of this Bible fragment meant somethings other (an allegory, for example). Well, I am both in the camp of literalists and these who believe that Bible has also spiritual meaning. In this camp, we expect that God may mean something other that the human author meant, and moreover a human author may be wrong while God is always right.
