I find this an interesting statement. What is your source for the early Saints not believing in literalism?
Now we need to be careful with what is meant. With the crowd here, 'literalism' will mean something pretty specific, and I trust does not concern itself with things like literal resurrection of the dead, and judgment to come. As for sources, you could start with my tagline and the whole Jewish tradition. Going further, simply pointing you to ccel.org is pretty vague, but I hope some historians on CF might be able to guide you more efficiently? (FWIW, I do not hold that underlying meaning negates literal, physical reality. The 2 seem to reinforce each other, but my Faith rests in the Person of Christ and His finished work, not any single point of Biblical story being historic fact)
