The wall was some six feet high and when I attempted to clamber it I found I could not lift my feet to the crest. So I went along by the side of it, and came to a corner and a rockwork that enabled me to get to the top and tumble into the garden I coveted.
It comes from two French words: rocaille, meaning the irregular rockwork used to decorate fountains and grottoes, and coquillage, shell motifs.

gloss: Of or pertaining to dispensationalism.
pos: adj
tags: not-comparable
examples: Evangelicals have long been influenced by dispensationalism, a theology that promotes a literal reading of biblical prophecy. Many dispensationalists believe Israelites’ return to the Holy Lands is a requirement for the Second Coming of Jesus. When Israeli troops captured the Old City of Jerusalem in June 1967, some saw it as a sign that Jesus was coming. However, dispensational teaching has been waning in mainstream evangelical circles, even as support for a state of Israel has remained strong.
Simultaneous to its burgeoning presence in Europe, dispensational theology made its way into North America in the mid-1800s through publications and organized teaching of James Inglis (1813–1872). Its eschatological views in particular captured the attention of conservative denominations, namely Baptist and some Presbyterian, who were concerned with the rise of liberalism in Christian thought. Dispensationalism spread across the United States through the Niagara Bible Conferences (1883–1897) and the teaching of pastors and theologians such as James H. Brookes (1830–1897), Dwight Moody (1837–1899), and Cyrus Scofield (1843–1921). Scofield’s reference Bible, with its accompanying dispensational notes, helped further instill this theology, especially among evangelical churches.

gloss: Using a method of interpretation regarded as woodenly, inflexibly, or simplistically literal in its perceived neglect of such considerations as context, genre, and authorial intent.
pos: adj
examples: It is most important to distinguish literalistic from literal interpretation. The former generates an unlettered, ultimately illiterate reading—one that is incapable of recognizing less obvious uses of language such as metaphor, satire, and so forth. ... Interpreters err either when they allegorize discourse that is intended to be taken literally or when they "literalize" discourse that is intended to be taken figuratively.
