Allegorical interpretation of the Bible

Allegorical interpretation of the Bible means looking at the stories in the Bible and thinking of them as symbols or metaphors instead of just thinking they are stories that actually happened. For example, a story might talk about a man who finds treasure in a field. Instead of thinking of this as an actual event that happened, you could think of it as a symbol of happiness or success that someone can find if they work hard. It gives the Bible stories more meaning and helps people understand them better.
