I’ve attended numerous churches in both RCA and UCC denominations in which RCA had a very literal take on the crucifixion and resurrection where the UCC church has a very allegorical approach. Excluding talking about this specific instance I’m asking about why there is a difference in how it was taught.
** Why is the RCA church more literal in scripture where the UCC church is allegorical?**
I’ve noticed during switching denominations specifically RCA reformed church of America and UCC united church of Christ, RCA seems to have a more literal translation of scriptures to which is applied to daily life. UCC on the other hand has taken a more allegorical and symbolic approach.
*I edited the question to exclude asking about specific events in the Bible and focused it more on the observed differences in how Christianity is taught*
