15 Ibid. 18; cf. Hugenberger, "Notes" 338. Although I am using an OT/NT paradigm, typology could be found within one of the Testaments.

ls I mean by this classification covenant amillennialism. In a theological tradition as large as this (and some of the following ones) I can only choose some representatives. 17 B. Waltke, "Kingdom Promises as Spiritual," Continuity and Discontinuity (ed. J. S. Feinberg) 279.

34 Here I am using the categories in C. A. Blaising and D. L. Bock, Progressive Dispensationalism (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1993) 9-57. They divide dispensationalism into classical, revised, and progressive camps. Some of the more well-known revised dispensationalists include A. J. McClain, J. Walvoord, C. Ryrie, J. D. Pentecost and S. Toussaint (p. 22). as J. S. Feinberg, "Systems" 85.

as Blaising and Bock, Progressive 35. For an example of a dispensationalist who found types everywhere in Scripture see W. L. Wilson, Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1957).

37 R. B. Zuck, Basic Bible Interpretation: A Practical Guide to Discovering Biblical Truth (Wheaton: Victor, 1991) 176 (italics mine). Zuck discusses what a valid type is on pp. 179-181. He believes that "Colossians 2:16-17 suggests that all of the religious festivals were 'a shadow of things that were to come"' in spite of the fact that only the Passover "is specifically pointed up as a type" (p. 181). For example, he suggests that the Feast of Unleavened Bread is a type of the believer's holy walk.

44 Ibid. 124-128, 118; cf. J. S. Feinberg, "Systems" 77, on double fulfillment. 45 P. D. Feinberg, "Hermeneutics" 126. This is an unusual interpretation for this tradition; most interpreters in this tradition see no fulfillment of Joel 2 in Acts 2.
