Allegory is Wheaton covenant-friendly.

I'm taking a class this quad called Reading Scripture with the Church Fathers. So far, we've read mostly Origen and Didymus the Blind who are of the Alexandrian school and thus very into allegorizing Scripture. Today Dr. Graves brought into class a copy of Didymus' book The Life of Moses. He understands that we may be too busy to read it now, but perhaps over Christmas break, if we are looking to read something spiritual and got hooked on allegory that we might enjoy it. "It's better than doing heroine or marijuana. It won't hurt your brain, and you'll enjoy it just as much."
