Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1859, The Typology of Scripture is a seminal work in the field of biblical theology. Drawing on the ideas of the German theologian Johann Herder, author Patrick Fairbairn argues for a comprehensive approach to interpreting the Bible, one that takes into account the historical, literary, and theological contexts of each text. With a focus on the use of symbolism and metaphor in the Old and New Testaments, this book offers a nuanced and sophisticated perspective on the meaning and significance of scripture.
