Dear friends, I am gathering resources for a new Sabbath school series on typology. Several new families have joined our church coming from non-covenantal backgrounds, and I thought a ten-week study on types of Christ in the Old Testament would be an excellent way to introduce them to some concepts of covenant theology. It's basically going to be a redemptive-historical survey of the OT.

Right now, I have in mind a few books and I've got copious notes from seminary classes. I was wondering, however, if anyone has come across a really good, beginner-level book or series that I could use in preparing these lessons? Thanks very much.
 
I haven't read all of it yet, but I know à Brakel deals with typology at the end of his The Christian's Reasonable Service. He gives good definitions of what is and is not a type, for example.

Thanks! I really like this suggestion because I have those volumes on my shelf right now and I'm still working through the first one. Really appreciate that.

The book "Jesus on Every Page" is out now, and is very nice for laymen new to the subject.

By the way, don't miss reading this. I wouldn't make it your starting point, but for your own interest in the subject it is an amazing short piece:
