Allegory vs. Typology: ​Paul's Interpretation of Genesis

August 4, 2019
Galatians 4:21-31
​​Reggie Sanchez

One of the most important questions for anyone interested in knowing the Bible better is that of interpretation: which methods of interpreting Scripture (especially Old Testament Scripture) are valid? Often it's hard to understand how different methods compare, and why they matter. What is allegory? What is typology? Is there any good way to read Old Testament stories except in their most literal sense? Joins us as Pastor Reggie Sanchez answers these questions and more, comparing two common hermeneutics, and arguing for the importance of typology in the Old Testament as it points to Christ and reveals the true meaning of the whole Scripture.
