The bible

"People always took the literal sense of the Bible seriously, but a literal reading was only one of the senses in which they took the Bible... What is new in our era is the idea of isolating one, single literal sense of the Bible -- and declaring that the only way to read the Bible is literally. That's actually new in the whole history of the Bible." ~ Karen Armstrong
