Richard M. Davidson’s identification of the characteristics and structures of biblical types and antitypes provides a better understanding of the intrinsic unity of both the Old and New Testaments while recognizing the progressive revelation of God’s plan in salvation history. This study fills the gap in biblical studies regarding typology by letting the inherent theological structures emerge from Scripture itself. It further serves as a worthy reply to the claims of the hermeneutic of literalism in the area of prophetic interpretations. It avoids the pitfalls of the extremes in both allegorism and literalism by conscientiously digging out the genuine literal interpretation centered in Christ Jesus.
