TYPOLOGY: A SUMMARY
OF THE PRESENT EVANGELICAL DISCUSSION -
W. EDWARD GLENNY -
JETS 40/4 (December 1997) 627–638

Excerpt:
The issue of what constitutes typology surfaces regularly in discussions
of continuity and discontinuity and of the relationship between the OT and
NT. It is also a major component in defining what we mean by literal hermeneutics.
John Feinberg has stated that the debate between covenant theologians
and dispensationalists over what constitutes literal hermeneutics
stems from three fundamental and interrelated issues:
“the relation of the progress of revelation to the priority of one Testament over the other,
the understanding and implications of the NT use of the OT, and the understanding and
implications of typology.”1 Mark W. Karlberg concurs with Feinberg’s analysis:
“Resolution of lingering differences of interpretation among evangelicals depends,
to a large extent, on a proper assessment of the nature and function of OT typology.”
