Call for Papers: Biblical Theology Study Group
Tyndale Fellowship Conference, 30 June - 2 July 2025
In his book Two Testaments, One Bible Dr David Baker defines typology as “the study of types and the historical and theological correspondences between them.” He understands a “type” to be “a biblical event, person or institution which serves as an example or pattern for other events, persons or institutions.”
In the light of this helpful definition, the Biblical Theology Study Group is planning to explore the topic of typology at its next meeting in 2025. To populate our programme, we are inviting offers of papers that address some aspect of the use of typology in the Bible. We welcome papers that discuss individual types (an event, person or institution), or papers that address how a biblical author uses typology. We are particularly keen that papers should consider the rationale for establishing a type (e.g., the earthly tabernacle is a copy and shadow of the heavenly tabernacle [Hebrews 8:5]), as well as expounding the type itself. We also welcome papers what offer evaluations of how others have used typology when interpreting the biblical text.
Paper offers should be sent to Dr Paul Twiss at ptwiss@tms.edu by 31 December 2024.​​​​​​​​

The Biblical Theology Study Group will meet concurrently with Tyndale Fellowship's other Study Groups from 30 June to 2 July 2025 at The Hayes Conference Centre, Derbyshire, UK.
