The typology of Scripture, viewed in connection with the whole series of The divine dis Volume 2

by Patrick Fairbairn

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Reviews

[Ronnie Nichols · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second of a two volume set and I enjoyed it tremendously. Understanding the types and shadows of the Old Testament and recognizing how they point to Christ and His fulfillment of the New Testament are foundation in our understanding the analogy of faith and the scope of redemptive history.

Volume 2 focus mainly on the Jewish cultic (worship) system and how all of the rites, rituals, customs, priesthood and holy days point to Christ. Anyone who is preaching or studying through the Pentateuch and Leviticus in particular would definitely benefit from this book. This contribution by Mr. Fairbairn is probably the best I've read to date and a must own for any pastor. There are cheap and even free electronic versions out there to sample. Pick up a copy!
