Because typology is a subject of much discussion and because there are
differences of opinion concerning the meaning of types, it has seemed best to
divide the material in this book into three groups.
1. The passages marked with the letter (a) are pure types, plainly described as
such and referred to as such in the Scripture. There is no question about them.
2. Those marked (b) seem to be types because of their use and because the
evident meaning they convey.
3. Those marked (c) are passages in which there may be a question as to whether
or not they are types. The descriptions given of these passages are offered only as
suggestions of lessons which may be learned from them. The writer claims no
superior knowledge whatever in regard to their meaning and will be quite happy
for others to have their own thoughts about them. There will be no spirit of
criticism in the matter.
