Types: A Fit Method of Instruction

No. 417

What principles of human nature render types a fit method of instruction: it tends to enlighten and illustrate, and to convey instruction with impression, conviction and pleasure, and to help the memory. These things are confirmed by man's natural delight in the imitative arts, in painting, poetry, fables, metaphorical language [and] dramatic performances. This disposition appears early in children. - WJE 11:191

The off-the-cuff video above demonstrates the construction of a visualization of this passage from Jonathan Edwards’s Types of the Messiah.
