What does zeit giest mean?
Zeitgeist is originally a German expression that means "the spirit of the age and its society", literally translated as time (Zeit), spirit (Geist)".

Should you interpret the New Testament literally?
Some Christians interpret the New Testament literally, while other see much of it as symbolic. Even the conservative Jesus Seminar recognises that many of the events in the New Testament did not really happen and that many of the sayings attributed to Jesus could not really have been spoken by him. If you are a Christian and you know that the New Testament is not entirely true historically, you would not interpret it literally, but rather symbolically or allegorically. If you are not a Christian, you would interpret it literally in order to understand the intentions of the authors.
