Typology Between the Old & New Testaments VIDEO LINK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1jAgWcvWQU&feature=youtu.be GOAL SUMMARY The goal for this session is for young people to understand that God foretells the coming of Christ throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament and that this process is called typology. VIDEO SUMMARY This video features Fr. Joseph Rampino discussing how God prepares the way of Christ throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. How does the Old Testament foreshadow the coming of the Lord? 2. In the Road to Emmaus, Jesus is explaining what had just happened (the crucifixion and Resurrection) by breaking open Scripture. What is one way that someone has broken open Scripture for you? 3. At Mass, Scripture is broken open for us by the priest. In what ways does this breaking open of Scripture allow us to live life more fully? 4. When we see Scripture through the lens of Jesus, we see that God has been foretelling the coming of Christ all throughout history. One way to see this is through a commitment to read the Bible daily. When and how regularly can you read Scripture? Make a goal to do so. What is your goal? SEND Brothers and Sisters, we know the end of the story. We know that Christ is victorious over death. Because we know this, we see Scripture through the eyes of Jesus Christ. The God of the Old Testament and Jesus are one in the same. Throughout history, God foretold the story of salvation, the story of Jesus Christ and we must live differently because we know the truth. Let us pray: Lord, throughout history, you show us that Christ is coming. Help us to be people who live in that knowledge. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen. .

"That Jesus Is the Christ" - Typology
"That Jesus Is the Christ" - Typology Essentially every event or person in the Book of Mormon may well remind us of another event or person; the book is like a beautifully composed symphony with repeated themes and motifs. Reference to the deliverance of Lehi and his family from Jerusalem evokes the deliverance of Israel from Egypt. We are reminded of Noah by Lehi, of Joseph the Patriarch by Joseph the son of Lehi, and of Captain Moroni by Moroni the son of Mormon. Most signicantly, all God-given events or God-directed persons in the Book of Mormon are reminders of Jesus Christ or his gospel. This is Nephi’s point in saying, “Behold, my soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ; for, for this end hath the law of Moses been given; and all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him” (2 Nephi 11:4).1 Abinadi says that all performances and ordinances of the law of Moses “were types of things to come” (Mosiah 13:31). Through their being types, the “things which have been given of God” in the Book of Mormon testify that Jesus is the Christ. By “typifying” or “types,” Nephi and Abinadi mean a likeness of Christ or something pertaining to him. That which is represented (for example, Christ) is the antitype. We might think of a type being the printed impression left on a sheet of paper and the antitype being the solid piece of metal or wood with a raised character on it used in making the impression.

Introduction to Typology God's Working Through Jonah
Introduction To Typology and God’s Working Through Jonah Typology refers to some thing or person which is a type exegesis instead of eisegesis. Exegesis (from ex out of) or pattern of another thing or person which is at a higher extracts information from Scripture. Eisegesis on the other spiritual level. For instance, the nation of Israel - God’s elect hand is reading into Scripture what is not there. or chosen people - is a type or pattern of the Church. The John Calvin, who came after Martin Luther, was more earthly Jerusalem is a type or pattern of the heavenly thorough in putting aside the spiritualising work of the priests.

Committee Member ______________________________ Mark Harris, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Cindy Goodrich, Ed.D., M.S.N., R.N., C.N.E. Assistant Honors Director ______________________________ Date JESUS, ELISHA, AND MOSES 3 Abstract Because the Evangelists wrote with the intention of communicating specific, theological truths to their readers, the details they include in their gospels are important. Further, one way the story of the Bible unfolds and is theologically interpreted is through the use of repetition and typology. A number of the miracle accounts of Elisha are analogous to Jesus’ own miracles as recorded in the gospels. Because of this, it is likely that the Evangelists are inviting readers to understand Jesus in light of Old Testament prophets and events, specifically as the appearance of a Prophet-like-Moses. A Jesus-Elisha typology, then, must be understood as only one strand of this more intricate prophetic typology. JESUS, ELISHA, AND MOSES 4 Jesus, Elisha, and Moses Introduction The writers of the four canonical gospels were not mere biographers; they were theologians. They were propagandists in the best possible way. They were the Evangelists, tasked with the sacred privilege of faithfully compiling eyewitness testimony and portraying Jesus “as these eyewitnesses portrayed him,” giving that testimony “a permanent literary vehicle.”1 Luke informs us that his gospel was written “so that you may know the exact truth about the things you [Theophilus] have been taught” (Lk.

Jesus As Israel: the Typological Structure of Matthew's Gospel
1 Jesus as Israel: The Typological Structure of Matthew’s Gospel Peter J. Leithart Articles on the structure of Matthew typically begin with a lament that scholars have reached no consensus concerning the structure of Matthew. This article is no exception. Chiastic outlines have been proposed,1 and the indications of inclusio are hints in this direction.2 M. D. Goulder’s intricate liturgical-midrashic treatment fascinates but does not persuade.3 Recently, several scholars have applied narratological analysis to sketch the plot structure of Matthew,4 but narrative analyses suffer, as Christopher Smith has pointed out, from the fact that nothing much happens during long stretches of Matthew’s gospel.5 Among the most popular schemes, however, has been that of B. W. Bacon, who proposed that the gospel was organized around five books, each of which consists of 1 For a survey of chiastic approaches, see David R. Bauer, The Structure of Matthew’s Gospel: A Study in Literary Design (JSNT Supplement #31; Sheffield: Almond Press, 1989), pp. 36-40. See Charles Lohr, “Oral techniques in the Gospel of Matthew,” CBQ (1961), pp. 403-435, esp. pp. 427-431. The most elaborately defended chiastic outline is that of James B. Jordan, The End of the World: A Commentary on Matthew 23-25 (Niceville, FL: Biblical Horizons), pp. 7-13. Other studies have discovered chiasms in smaller portions of the gospel: Daniel Boerman, “The Chiastic Structure of Matthew 11-12,” CTJ 40 (2005), pp. 313-25; David McClister, “Literary Structure as a Key to Meaning in Matt 17:22-20:19,” JETS (1996), pp.

Faithless Israel, Faithful Gentiles: Ethnic Irony in Jonah and Matthew

Redmon Ouachita Baptist University Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarlycommons.obu.edu/honors_theses Recommended Citation Redmon, Christopher L., "Faithless Israel, Faithful Gentiles: Ethnic Irony in Jonah and Matthew" (2014). Honors Theses. 213. https://scholarlycommons.obu.edu/honors_theses/213 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Carl Goodson Honors Program at Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. For more information, please contact [email protected]. INTRODUCTION This thesis will first examine the plot and rhetoric of Jonah with special focus on how the prophet is disgraced by pagan characters. Attention will then be turned to the Gospel of Matthew. After determining the meaning and function of Matthew's "sign of Jonah" in context, we will discuss the sign as a link between the two works and an invitation to look for parallels. Finally, several points of contact will be suggested with emphasis on the ethnic reversals common to both works-how the faithful Gentiles in Matthew recall those in Jonah, and how Israel in Matthew resembles the disobedient prophet. Before our expedition into the text, however, we must recognize the limits and merits of this kind of comparative study. In drawing connections and searching for parallels, we do not want to overestimate the influence of the Jonah on the plot of Matthew. Unlike Jonah, which by comparison is a simpler and more straightforward text, the first Gospel as a matter of genre is staggeringly complex.

Typology: Pros and Cons in Biblical Hermeneutics and Literary Criticism (From Leonhard Goppelt to Northrop Frye)
TYPOLOGY: PROS AND CONS IN BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS AND LITERARY CRITICISM (FROM LEONHARD GOPPELT TO NORTHROP FRYE) Tibor Fabiny Department of Hermeneutics Faculty of Arts Karoli Gaspar University of the Reformed Church 1088 Budapest. Hungría The following essay is a survey of various theories of biblical typology (figuralism) in 20th century biblical hermeneutics and literary criticism. The word typology in biblical studies is a relatively modern coinage, it was not used in patristic literature together with tropologia, allegoria or anagogia. Some- times it is used as a synonym with figuralism. More than ten years ago (Fab- iny 1-2), I suggested that typology may refer to at least nine things: (1) a way of reading the Bible; (2) a principle of unity of the “Old” and the “New” Tes- taments in the Christian Bible; (3) a principle of exegesis; (4) a figure of speech; (5) a mode of thought; (6) a form of rhetoric; (7) a vision of history; (8) a principle of artistic composition; (9) a manifestation of “intertextuality”. 1. The Goppelt-Bultmann Controversy The standard book on typology is still Leonard Goppelt’s Typos: Die typolo- gische Deutung des Alten Testaments im Neuen (1939).1 Goppelt examined the significant New Testament passages against the background of the contem- porary Jewish interpretation of Scripture (Philo) in Hellenistic Judaism. His conclusion was that typology was the dominant form of interpretation for the New Testament use of the Old. One of the most important terms Gop- pelt introduced was that of Steigerung (translated into English by various authors as “heightening”, “escalation” or “enhancement”), which means that some persons, events or things in the New Testament are seen as both analo- gous and greater to the persons, events or things in the Old Testament.
