Biblical literalism or biblicism is the strict adherence to the exact, plain sense of words or depictions in the Bible. The term can refer to the historical-grammatical method, a hermeneutic technique that strives to uncover the meaning of the text by taking into account not just the grammatical words, but also the syntactical aspects, the cultural and historical background, and the literary genre.
