Typos: The Typological Interpretation of the Old Testament in the New

Rating:
Summary: Landmark work On Typology
Review: This truly is a signficant work, originally published in German in 1939, now translated into this English edition.

How one views the fulfillment of OT prophecy is truly significant to one's theology, especially eschatology.

Using the word "typos" in Romans 5, Goppelt shows the biblical way of seeing type-anti-type throughout the Scriptures.

This unlocks the Bible, making it a unity rather than dispensations where grace is distributed differently. Rather, consistenly God deals with us through means of grace, all the time pointing ahead to the reality of Christ.

Divine redemption is thereby dominant to both Testaments, since Jesus and the apostles continally demonstrate they understand the typological method of interpretation.

Bible students will do well to read, ponder and apply the astute learnings of this book.
