Herod, potious pilate and Caesar Augustus were real. So it's inaccurate to say the WHOLE BIBLE is allegorical.
It's like defending the obvious fantasy parts of the Bible as allegorical. At what point do you simply admit that the entire thing is allegorical, including the most obvious fantasy part, God?
Carry on.
"Ragtime" by E.L. Doctorow, one of my favorite novels, has Harry Houdini, J.P. Morgan, Henry Ford, Henry K. Thaw, Evelyn Nesbit, and Booker T. Washington as characters. Doesn't mean Houdini met a ten-year old child who foresaw Archduke Franz Ferdinand's death and warned him of it, as one event in the novel claims.
