Augustine allegorically interpreted the first creation account in Genesis 1 - 2:4 but seems to have literally interpreted the second creation account in Genesis 2:5-3:24. Origen allegorically interpreted both stories. > "The sacred writer was able to separate in the time of his narrative what God did not separate in time in His creative act." (St. Augustine, The Literal Meaning of Genesis, translated and annotated by John Hammond Taylor, S.J., 2 vols. (New York: Newman Press, 1982) (pg. 36) [asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1988/PSCF3-88Young.html](https://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1988/PSCF3-88Young.html) Did any other church fathers reject a literal interpretation of at least one of the creation account in Genesis, or were these two the only ones to do it?
