Mosaic Covenant Analysis
1. Define "typology." How does this method of interpretation help us understand the Mosaic covenant?
Typology is a type of symbolism in which “a person or event in one era of redemptive history that has a specific parallel in another era of redemptive history” (p 178). This method of interpretation helps us understand the Mosaic covenant because it foreshadows and parallels the New Law in the New Testament. It helps build the foundation for New Law, and it also shows the people that their God is different from every other god of that time. Typology helps us understand the Mosaic covenant because it helps us understand how it created the foundation and beginning of the New Law when Christ died on the cross for us. Moses received the law and Jesus
