Title: Typology-Understanding the Bible's Promise-Shaped Patterns
Description: Discover how patterns and parallels build throughout the Bible and ultimately point to Christ. In Typology -- Understanding the Bible's Promise-Shaped Patterns, author James M. Hamilton Jr. shows that the similarities we find in the Bible are based on genuine historical correspondence and explains that the biblical authors draw attention to them by the repetition of words and phrases, the parallels between patterns of events, and key thematic equivalences. When read in light of God's promises, these historical correspondences spotlight further repetitions that snowball on one another to build escalating significance. This book stimulates fresh thinking on the relationship between the Old and New Testaments and will help pastors, preachers, and students better understand the dynamics of inner-biblical interpretation. It explores several of the "promise-shaped patterns" we see in the Old Testament including: Adam and New Adam; Prophets, Priests, and Kings; The Righteous Sufferer; Creation; Exodus and New Exodus; Marriage. Typology -- Understanding the Bible's Promise-Shaped Patterns equips readers to understand and embrace the typological interpretive perspective of the biblical authors. You will learn to read the Bible as it was intended by its original authors while cultivating a deeper love and appreciation for the Scriptures. - Back cover.
