Typology for the Common Man

Today in Hermeneutics for the second lecture on typology the class got in a long conversation once more about the what are and aren’t types of Christ in and throughout the Scriptures. During the middle of class (which I am sure that professor would not be a fan of) one of my fellow  seminarians send me an email on how I am a type and how I am not a type of a Scottish professor at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary named Dr. David Murray. Now many of you may not get this, or even understand. However the ones that do, will enjoy this.

Type of the Scotsman

  • in the fact that you’re a seminary employee
  • in the fact that you’ wear brown shoes with black pants
  • in the fact that you wear a red tie with a black jacket

But:

  • in you’re joking and sense of humor
  • in you’re shaved head
  • in you’re Ohio accent

Summary: You fall short of the great Scotsman.  He is the “greater-than-Mike.” When I look at you, I think of Dr. Murray.  But when I talk to you, I see that you’re only but a shadow of him.

ME

Dr. David Murray

I see NO TYPE
