Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Bible is not a collection of disconnected stories, rituals, laws, and prophecies. From Adam to the tabernacle, from Passover to David's throne, from the wilderness to the promised land, God was preparing His people to understand the greater fulfillment of His redemptive purpose.Systematic Theology - Scripture Defines Scripture, Volume 16: The Doctrine of Biblical Types and Shadows is a Scripture-governed study of the real persons, events, offices, sacrifices, feasts, places, and covenant patterns God appointed to point forward toward greater fulfillment.This volume may be read as a focused, stand-alone guide to biblical typology or as part of the larger Systematic Theology - Scripture Defines Scripture series. Readers new to the set will find a complete introduction to the meaning, purpose, limits, and biblical use of types and shadows. Readers continuing through the full series will see how this volume builds upon the central conviction that Scripture defines Scripture.Rather than treating typology as a hidden-code system or an excuse for imaginative allegory, this study follows the Bible's own witness-especially the teaching of Christ and the apostles-to show how God's historical works prepare His people for fulfillment.Inside this volume, readers will explore:Adam and Christ, Noah and the ark, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon, Jonah, Israel, and the remnantThe Exodus, Passover, the firstborn, the Red Sea, manna, the rock, the brazen serpent, and the wildernessThe tabernacle, temple, priesthood, altar, laver, veil, ark, mercy seat, sacrifices, and Day of AtonementThe feasts, Sabbath, Jubilee, land, inheritance, cities of refuge, and the fuller hope of God's restThe difference between types, shadows, patterns, figures, symbols, prophecy, fulfillment, and allegoryThe safeguards Scripture provides against speculative interpretation, over-typing, and making biblical details say more than God has saidThe way Christ and the apostles interpret the Old Testament's persons, events, institutions, and promisesAt the center stands Christ: the last Adam, the true Passover, the greater High Priest, the once-for-all sacrifice, the Son of David, the true temple, the firstfruits of resurrection, and the giver of final rest.Written for pastors, teachers, Bible students, and serious Christians, this volume helps readers see the unity of God's Word without flattening its history, cancelling its covenants, or forcing meanings Scripture has not given.The patterns are real because the history is real.The fulfillment is sure because God is faithful.
