Read the Bible with Fresh Eyes as You See Scripture's Promise-Shaped Patterns
When you read the Bible, have you ever noticed parallels between certain people, events, and institutions? Should we understand Noah as a kind of new Adam, and if so, does that somehow point us to the second Adam? How are we to interpret these similarities?
In Typology—Understanding the Bible's Promise-Shaped Patterns, author James M. Hamilton Jr. shows that the similarities we find in the Bible are based on genuine historical correspondence and demonstrates how we recognize them in the repetition of words and phrases, the parallels between patterns of events, and key thematic equivalences. When understood in light of God's promises, these historical correspondences spotlight further repetitions that snowball on one another to build escalating significance.
This book stimulates fresh thinking on the relationship between the Old and New Testaments and will help pastors, preachers, and students better understand the dynamics of inner-biblical interpretation. It explores several of the "promise-shaped patterns" we see in the Old Testament including:
- Adam and New Adam
- Prophets, Priests, and Kings
- The Righteous Sufferer
- Creation
- Exodus and New Exodus
- Marriage
Hamilton shows that the prophets and sages of Israel learned to interpret Scripture from Moses and his writings. And by tracing the organic development of subsequent biblical patterns, he explains how these patterns created expectations that are fulfilled in Christ. Jesus himself taught his followers to understand the Old Testament in this way (Luke 24:45), and the authors of the New Testament taught the earliest followers of Jesus how to read the Bible through a typological lens.
Typology—Understanding the Bible's Promise-Shaped Patterns equips pastors, bible teachers, students, and serious Bible listeners to understand and embrace the typological interpretive perspective of the biblical authors. You will learn to listen to the Bible as it was intended by its original authors while cultivating a deeper love and appreciation for the Scriptures.

He has made us to be Kings and priests to God...
This book was referenced and recommended from another author. So, in some respects, this is my inaugural book in seeking to understand the scriptures more fully. This is to my chagrin more than a boast. I always thought that serious study of the word should be left to those who have been gifted. Listening to this book has ostensibly lifted me out of the dark ages and has whetted my appetite to dig deeper. Like a miner, I wish to find and handle the precious truth of God's word for myself. Truthfully, I had never given much thought to the structure or patterns in God's word until reading this book. Or perhaps I had just never seen the connections? To be able to come to the scriptures and have a framework that gives purpose and meaning to the narrative of God's word is truly satisfying. It was the duty of the King to know the Pentateuch that their rule would reflect the justice and goodness of God. If we have been made Kings anew through the blood of Christ it is our duty to know the word of truth and that our lives would also reflect his justice and mercy in this dark world.
