Can’t face reading Patrick Fairbairn? Buy this accessible introduction to biblical typology which covers mankind in the image of God too.
‘This is a very helpful work on typology: It is easy reading; gives many examples; provides a good (not too narrow) definition of a type; and doesn’t restrict types to just those explicitly identified as such in the Bible (so being parallel with the Bible’s practice of not labelling all parables with the word “parable”). I recommend it for those who enjoy types, those who have never heard of the word, and those who are suspicious of types.’ – Watch the video:
