He doesn't seem to mean that scripture is to be taken literally, because he reinterprets very freely the Jewish scriptures that he's reading as scripture. Moreover, he argues that the Law of Moses, which is the cornerstone of Jewish scripture, has been set aside by the revelation of God's grace in Christ crucified. Paul claims inspiration from the risen Lord for his creative understanding of Jewish scripture, but he also argues his case using all the tools of rhetoric and reason at his disposal.
So if he was so liberal in his interpretation, why do christians take it so literally?
