The Catholic tradition has always approached Scripture with a profound sense of unity, coherence, and divine intentionality. From the earliest centuries of the Church, Christians recognized that the Bible is not a loose anthology of religious writings but a single, divinely authored narrative in which God reveals Himself progressively and purposefully. Within this vision, typology emerges not as an optional interpretive technique but as one of the most essential ways the Church reads the Word of God. Typology is the recognition that God, who governs history with providential wisdom, shapes earlier events, persons, and institutions so that they foreshadow and prepare for their fulfillment in Christ and His Church. This mode of reading is not merely a literary exercise; it is a theological affirmation that the same God who inspired the Scriptures also guides the unfolding of salvation history.
