Typology and Allegory
there is a clear difference between biblical typology and allegory. The object of allegorical exegesis is not the facts or the literal sense of a narrative. Alongside the evident meaning of the text or occasionally even in disregard of that meaning, allegorical exegesis seeks to give a “deeper sense.” In contrast, typology lets history be history.
