Sophie Lunn-Rockliffe

Miri Rubin, a Professor of Medieval History, junto with Harry Spillane, a Bibliography Fellow, and Sophie Lunn-Rockliffe, an Associate Professor in Patristics, dive into the fascinating realm of typology. They discuss how figures like Moses and Jonah foreshadow Jesus in the New Testament, exploring the historical roots of typology from ancient civilizations to the Renaissance. The conversation touches on its moral implications, the interplay between Judaism and Christianity, and how this interpretative method influenced literature, art, and even Protestant thought.
