	Typology (theology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Typology is a theological doctrine or theory of types and their antitypes found in scripture.
		One example of typology is the story of Jonah and the whale from the Old Testament.
		Jesus proclaimed that the serpent, as a symbol of saving faith, was a type of himself, since "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wildemess, even so must the Son of man be lifted up" (John 3:14).

	Theology Today - Vol 50, No.1 - April 1993 - BOOK REVIEW - Types of Christian Theology
		At one end of the spectrum, theology is conceived of as "one discipline in an academic class of disciplines," sharing with them general criteria of intelligibility, coherence, and truth.
		This type 1 theology, which pledges no allegiance to the norms of self-description of the Christian community, is best exemplified in the contemporary period by Gordon Kaufman.
		In the background of this typology, and occasionally in the foreground, is Frei's conviction about the importance of the "literal sense" of Scripture, which he developed in an earlier book, The Eclipse of Biblical Narrative.

	American Passages - Unit 3. Utopian Promise: Glossary
		In its strictest sense, typology refers to the practice of explicating signs in the Old Testament as foreshadowing events, personages, ceremonies, and objects in the New Testament.
		Applied more broadly, typology enabled Puritans to read biblical types as forecasting not just the events of the New Testament but also their own historical situation and experiences.
		According to orthodox Puritan theology, anything tied to this world—even relationships with family members—should be secondary to God.

	Generations of Evangelical Theology
		Much popular level theology is 1G, because it is written by partisans for a particular school or denomination and aimed either at wavering parishioners, potential recruits, or theological foes.
		Because 3G theology requires 2G's broad knowledge of the field and 1G's conviction that simple description is inadequate, it tends to happen in relatively sophisticated contexts such as upper-division courses and the literature of the academic theological guild.
		Likewise, descriptive theologies often employ innovative typologies to bring order out of the apparent chaos of conflicting schools, or offer ecumenical syntheses that reconcile incompatibilities among traditional positions (and not always artificially!) in order to point to some greater whole of which the current schools turn out to be parts.

	Theology and Literature: IV. Literature as Theology
		In effect, he lets literature do what I have said, via Thomas, is the task of theology, namely, to consider human affairs âso far as they can be known through divine revelationâ (Thomas Ia.1.4) and to consider divine things as they can be known by their mundane effects.
		Theologyâs contribution to literature is concerned only with interpreting religious meanings, rather than with accenting and explaining what literature achieves and how it functions.
		While such scenarios may help neophyte students of theology memorize Augustineâs various accounts of the will, they are like blank prescriptions in the hands of systematic theologians, licensing them to spike the argument with whichever reality-enhancing drug suits their purpose.

	Introduction of Biblical Typology
		This has led many within the evangelical community to reject the study of typology altogether because of the often extravagant speculations of earlier typologists have left a bad taste for typology in their minds, because they have been led to believe that the study of types has been compromised.
		Within the discipline of typology the use of proof-texting, or the use of Scripture to solidly ground and verify one's thesis, has tended to have fallen to the way-side in favor of the "big idea" approach which seeks to compare and contrast the thought or intent of the biblical writers.
		Nevertheless, a typology that doesn't follow the precepts of the biblical text, or the themes that are progressively developed throughout the Bible are given to speculation, and ultimately, allegory.

		He also inclined to agreed with me that baptism is not something that needs to be done in a worship service, or by an ordained minister; likewise, that the supper may be served by an unordained man acting under the pastor's oversight.
		Also Jordan's method is less "a matter of hearing overtones and resonances and constructing theology around them" than it is seeing the whole ward and woof of Scripture as a constant repetition, interplay, interweaving and transforming of themes/types/anaologies, etc. He constantly manifests how what you've read before in the Bible comes up again and again.
		I'm not disagreeing with Jordan that there is Nazirite typology to be seen in the passage.

	Plymouth Brethren: Biblical Typology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Typology is the practice, by writers of Scripture, of using a truth found in the Old Testament and applying it to persons, places, and things in the New Testament in order to teach rich spiritual lessons concerning God’s grace and power.
		Typology is based upon the clear teaching of Scripture, whereas allegorical interpretation is subject to the imaginative whim and fancy of the interpreter to supply any meaning he wishes.
		Otherwise, typology study ceases to be typology and enters the realm of allegory.

	"Typology: A Summary Of The Present Evangelical Discussion" by W. Edward Glenny
		I will attempt to explain typology as it is understood by representatives of each of these views and then demonstrate how each view would (or would not) apply typology to explain the relationship between Israel and the Church.
		Proper understanding of typology informs us that even if the NT interprets the OT typologically and even if we are to do so, that does not allow us to ignore or cancel the meaning of the type or substitute the meaning of the antitype for it.
		Probably the most controversial and innovative aspect of Davidson's theory of typology is his belief that types are predictive and that there must be some indication of the existence and predictive quality of OT types before their antitypical fulfillment - otherwise they cannot be predictive.

	HUNT: The Tears of the Sinful Woman: a Theology of Redemption in the Homilies of St. Ephraim and his Followers
		My contention is that this focus of interest may be accounted for in part by the Syrian tradition of typology and symbolism, which provides, in the person of the penitent woman, a model for the whole of sinful humanity.
		Ephraim's use of typology, antithesis and other such modes is demonstrated effectively in his treatment of various female characters from the New Testament.
		Full bibliographical details of the substantial number of studies of typology in Ephraim may be found in Murray's scholarly monograph and full-length study (1975 and 1975/6), and in Brock (1983, especially 37, where he notes that in Ephraim's hands, typology becomes "something of an art form.").

		Typology, allegory, and myth are tools of biblical prophecy and its offspring, Jewish apocalyptic; in this whole tradition John consciously stands (1:3; 10:11; 22:7, 9-10, 18-19).
		Cubical new Jerusalem (21:16), obviously not a literal city, is an antitype of the inner sanctuary in the temple (1 Kings 6:20), the place of God's very presence.
		For reversed typology there are ample precedents in the Old Testament (for example, compare the exaggerated details of David's sufferings in Psalm 22:14-18; with Jesus' crucifixion, or note Isaiah's use of the term "day of the Lord" for the downfall of the Babylonian empire: Isa 13:6; 13:1).

	Theologia :: Bible :: What Is Biblical Theology?
		Typology means reading the Bible on its own terms, as a revelation of the suffering and glory of Christ (Lk.
		But typology properly done arises from within the biblical narrative itself; it is not imposed from the outside.
		Insofar as Biblical Theology enables the church to recover her sense of story, and therefore her sense of identity and mission in the world, it is crucial to the church’s vitality and fidelity.

	DISF - Interdisciplinary Encyclopaedia of Religion and Science \| DIALOGUE,SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY
		In theology the ‘primal testimony’ of scripture and the events of the history of Israel and Jesus Christ are the sources of each new revolution.
		Most scholars in theology and science, while accepting the importance of methodological reductionism in science, view epistemic reductionism and reductive materialism as undercutting the credibility of higher-level disciplines and supporting the “conflict” model between science and theology.
		Most writers in theology and science seek to avoid two extreme positions: monism in the form of either reductive materialism or absolute idealism, and dualism in the form of vitalism (life is a separate, nonmaterial entity, principle or agency) or Cartesianism (mind and body are independent realities).

		Typology attempt to 'anchor' the interpretation on the concrete 'substance' pointed to by the text; Allegory anchors its interpretation on the 'form' of the letters/words in a text.
		Typology is generally a process controlled by a community historical consciousness; allegory is generally controlled by an individual interpreters worldview (and therefore, much less controlled than the former).
		Typology lent itself to retrospective insight--"This case is JUST LIKE that other time..." The predictions from the past would have been low (but not negligible) in precision; but the correlation in the future would have been high (but not perfect) in precision.

		The term renewal is intended to suggest that for Christian theology, strategy and mood always include a theology's (or a theologian's) sense of the relation of the religious community's present being and task to its past life and work.
		Basically, of course, all living theologies are "situational" in the sense that they emerge out of an interplay with a contemporary situation, i.e., are engaged in reinterpretation.
		Critical "orthodoxy" means the effort of fidelity to the community's past, as in the various recoveries of classical styles, but without the latters' willingness to attribute superiority to a single traditional pattern (and thus with a keener sense of the relativity of all past formulations).

	Alban CONGREGATIONS Magazine: Book Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cooper and McClure propose a theological typology under eight categories from which preachers can extract their personal theological profiles: theological mode, authority (Bible, tradition, reason, and experience), theistic worldview, theodicy, the atonement, the church and the world, the relation of Christianity to other religions, and endings (eschatology).
		The authors describe a range of perspectives under each category, and readers are encouraged to note their own perspective on a worksheet at the end of the book, resulting in a personal theological profile.
		At the same time that I became frustrated with parts of the book, I recognized that it was precisely the theological presuppositions that I hold (uncovered by the process), that were making me uncomfortable with some of the assumptions of the book.

		John Howard Yoder's critique of Niebuhr's typology was passed around for decades as an unpublished paper before finally making it to the public eye in 1996.
		[9] Gustafson then set forth in what way he thought the typology should be evaluated: "The heuristic, that is, interpretive, illuminating power of the fivefold typology and of each type is the principal criterion by which to evaluate the expositions and analyses in each of the chapters and in the book as a whole" (xxxi).
		I seek to take Gustafson seriously by using qualitative research to determine whether Niebuhr's typology provides both descriptive and normative illumination of "ways of Christian living," whether it needs some modification for the illumination to be insightful or whether it should really be discarded.

		In rethinking a Christian theology of nature from a pneumatological perspective, Moltmann has helped push the discussion forward considerably from where it was before, and that along three lines.
		Together, the emergent pneumatological theology of creation allows for, even demands, a rigorous scientific dimension and shapes a holistic theology which understands the interconnectedness of God and creation, of human beings and the environment, of mind and body, etc.
		In the case of both research programs, the question of "spirit" in general and of human spirit in particular has been reopened and will/should continue to be re-engaged in dialogue with the cognitive sciences.

	A User Friendly Barbour
		Taking center stage in this latest book is the well-known Barbourian typology of conflict, independence, dialogue, and integration, a typology Barbour has successfully employed to survey and organize attitudes and positions theology and the natural sciences assume towards each other.
		The next chapter gives familiar examples of each: conflict is exemplified by scientific materialism and Biblical literalism; independence by two-language approaches, neo-orthodoxy, and advocates of primary causality; dialogue by those pursuing limit-questions or "methodological and conceptual parallels"; and independence by practitioners of natural theology, theology of nature, and systematic synthesis.
		While he departs from Religion and Science by eliminating his treatment of the historical science/religion relationship and the comparison of scientific and religious epistemology and conceptuality, he follows the natural science topics of that earlier work, adding material on neuroscience and the mind/ body problem.
