To be responsible to the Bible’s divine Author and credible to our hearers, our identification of typological similarities (as well as contrasts between type and antitype) must be warranted by evidence in the text of Scripture, not merely the product of our own hyperactive imaginations.

Thank you for this book recommendation. When Old Testament types are seen fulfilled in the New, it is so beautiful and satisfying that one may be tempted to go further and invent typology that is not there. Apparently Edwards ran amok with this.
