"The author is thoroughly persuaded of the truth of Christianity, working diligently for its reward, and hoping that his labours are not wide of the true mark, the substance of faith and duty. If his reasoning is in any respect weak, he will thank those who will enable him to make it stronger; he thinks it sufficient whereon to build part of his own faith, although he is not a stranger to other mediums of reasoning. As such he offers it to the world, and asks no further favour of the reader, than attention to what he reads, and a repetition of reading: That much at least is in human power, let the rest be the Grace of God; to which the author leaves him and his book, being a final part of one and twenty years labour in the Gospel; sincerely wishing all that influence from the use of it, which should principally be designed by those, who really mean to instruct mankind.

This volume presents for the first time a comprehensive, readable, and annotated text of the key typological notebooks of Jonathan Edwards: "Images of Divine Things," "Types Notebook," and Miscellany 1069, "Types of the Messiah." These three works illustrate the way the eminent eighteenth-century theologian developed his theory of typological exegesis, a theory that helped him to understand the relationship between the Old and New Testaments and to comprehend the correspondence between the natural and the spiritual worlds.Edwards' theories of typology have long fascinated scholars from a variety of fields and have dominated literary studies of his work. These documents illuminate Edwards' epistemology and show clearly his involvement in contemporary philosophical and exegetical trends. Introductions to the documents place Edwards' typology within the context of his period, describe his typological practices, clarify some of the complex problems posed by his ambiguous use of the types throughout his career, and discuss his philosophical defenses of typologizing against the claims of materialists, deists, and rationalists.
