Typology And Allegory

An Introduction For The Non-specialist

Typology has fascinated a lot of people -- because it makes the job of preaching from the Bible very easy. All what you need is a Bible-verse for a pretext and plenty of imagination. However, this is an illegitimate use of both the Bible as well as of Typology. This brief book explains the legitimate role of typology and exactly how it ought to be used. This is not a technical monograph on the subject. Rather, we have tried to make the subject simple and clear to the average Christian who has never been to a Bible seminary.
