On Typology
I believe typology to be very important for people to learn how the past relates to the present. However as we discussed in class yesterday, it can become a hinderance when people attempt to over compare. As with the Bible, it can cause one to wonder about the validity of the stories were they simply contrived to support other issues? However, they can’t be false because typology is based on historically accurate data. I believe that if one looks hard enough they will be able to find comparisons with anything they want to. It would behoove us to not be easily persuaded and to use our own common sense when analyzing typology and analogy.
