Title: The lion and the lamb
Description: Beginning with Northrop Frye's discussion of biblical Typology - the understanding of the Old Testament as a source of anticipations of the New Testament - Tibor Fabiny develops his hermeneutical discussion using the insights of reader-response criticism in a wholly original way. His approach to biblical typology is both comprehensive and interdisciplinary, using material from literature and the visual arts in the Christian tradition. He moves from a discussion of the Bible to examples of typology in medieval art and literature and finally to the drama of Shakespeare and T. S. Eliot in Murder in the Cathedral.
