About the Author
Ada R. Habershon (1861-1918) was born in London, England. Few women have made a contribution to the cause of biblical scholarship equal to that of Ada Habershon. After formal Bible training, she turned her efforts to the exploration of the Scriptures. She was a devoted friend of D. L. Moody, Charles H. Spurgeon, R. A. Torrey, and Ira Sankey. In addition to writing hundreds of hymns, she is the author of eight Bible studies, including Study of the Miracles, Study of the Parables, and Hidden Pictures in the Old Testament.

This review is from: Study of the Types (Paperback)
Ada R. Habershon hits a home-run in her erudite book "Study of the Types." Drawing mostly upon Old Testament typologies and their New Testament antitypes, Habershon shows christological typology in a clear and concise manner. She does not claim her connections and findings to be authoritative or final, she only offers what she considers to be the obvious connections between certain Old Testament ocurrences with New Testament parallels. I for one found the chapters "Types of the Resurrection", "Types of the Holy Spirit" and "The Garments of the Believer" very insightful.My only complaint about this book is that it is not written to those with moderate or novice understandings and recongition of biblical passages. Habershon frequently and openly quotes scripture without referencing which verse she's quoting. This is fine for those theologians that know the Bible excessively, but if you are just now beginning to familiarize yourself with the Bible, and want to see some of the references and quotations she makes in this book, have a KJV concordance on hand so you can follow her scriptural references (most modern publications of the KJV, like the Scofield, Zondervan, Thomas Nelson, etc., include a concordance in the back). All in all, I recommend this book for its content and price. Pastors and religion instructors will find the information very helpful in making sense of the Old Testament for students, and the layperson will become more fluent in the language of typology from having studied this wonderful book.

wonderful and enlightening,

This review is from: Study of the Types (Paperback)
This book is so helpful in bringing the Old Testament to life--I never thought I could get through the book of Leviticus until I read this book and actually wanted to learn more about the different types of sacrificies, etc. As a notorious speed-reader, I had to force myself to go slowly so as to absorb all that she was saying.

This review is from: Study of the Types (Paperback)
The author does a fantastic job painting a picture of Yeshua (Jesus) throughout the Torah. The volume of the scroll truly is about the messiah and this book is a fantastic review of the many references found in the OT.The only negative thing I can say about the book is that the author cites scripture and doesn't always explicitly state the exact verses. If you are familiar with scripture, you have a searchable bible, or you trust the author this is a moot point. This is not a reason not to read the book... this book truly is a gold mine. If you pray for your daily bread this is a buffet you can feed on for a very long time. God Bless
