The Integral Role of the Old Testament in Christian Faith

In this episode, Caleb is joined by guest Vern Poythress (PhD, Harvard; DTh, Stellenbosch) professor of New Testament, biblical interpretation, and systematic theology at Westminster Theological Seminary. Together they discuss Dr. Poythress' new book on biblical typology exploring questions like: What is typology? How does it help us interpret the OT in a Christ-centered way? What distinguishes it from mere analogy, symbols, allegory and other things? How do we practice typology and stay "in bounds" and more.
