Allegory. Fact. Fiction. What’s the difference? And why do such things matter when reading the Bible or other sacred scripture? Sam and the rest of his “framily” find time to discuss this very matter while zipping through the trees of Costa Rica – particularly in how the Bible often uses the term “tree” as a way to describe men, people, or nations. This is a very helpful consideration when trying to understand various stories in the Bible and their possible meaning to us today.
