Self-publishing is not exactly financially viable; however, it is less time consuming and I do not have to deal with writing a hundred cover letters for a hundred different Publishing Houses and Literary Agents who each have their own quirks.

Right now, I write more for my own edification (as I write I learn more about both myself and what it is that I am writing about). Financially, the fiance has a good job and I will, eventually, once I get my PhD and land a decent professor gig.

Don't know about religion and philosophy but perhaps you can contact the academic book publishers in these areas once you have a draft and see whether they would have an interest. Thats how its done in my field. Having a book published would be damn good for the vita when you start looking for an academic gig. Good luck.

Do you think the authors of the NT considered it allegory?

If not, why ignore the intent of the guys that wrote it?

Either they were right or wrong about what went down, but they weren't writing allegories.

How do you know (a) who wrote the books and (b) what their intent was?

I do not know who wrote the Gospels, why they wrote them, nor who their intended audiences were.

That said, I will more readily believe that they intended to write allegories than I will believe that the miracles they write about actually took place.

Here's a better explanation.
