Types of Genesis
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
A proponent of typology, Andrew Jukes’ Types of Genesis endeavored to show that the qualities of major characters and events in Genesis are analogous of events in the New Testament. Jukes divided his examination and elucidation of Genesis into seven parts:
- Adam (Human Nature)
- Cain and Abel (Carnal and Spiritual Mind)
- Noah (Regeneration)
- Abraham (Spirit of Faith)
- Isaac (The Spirit of Sonship)
- Jacob (The Spirit of Service)
- Joseph (Suffering and Glory)
Types of Genesis is essential for students, scholars, pastors, historians, and teachers of the Bible who want to go more in depth in the study of Genesis. With Logos Bible Software, this collection is completely searchable, with passages of scripture appearing on mouse-over, as well as being linked to Greek and Hebrew texts and English translations in your library.
- Contribution from a renowned Old Testament scholar
- Includes a preface by the author and an index

“Christ was ‘tempted of the devil,’ and could say, ‘Get thee behind me, Satan,’1 for the New Man sees a spiritual world. But man as man sees but the creature, some outward thing, and not a spirit under it. Some paltry thing, the smallest, commonest creature, may be, and is often, used to ruin us. A tree or beast may stir our lusts, and a garden or fruit awaken passions and desires, which may prove too strong for us.” (Page 69)
“To this day of rest I now would pass, a stage attained by few, for few pursue it. For it is now, as of old: the Lord may work in many a house; He can find a rest in very few. So He works in many souls, and comes to give of His fulness; but few so entirely yield to Him, as to let Him indeed rest there.” (Page 42)
“we do not find ‘God called,’ but ‘God made;’17 this latter half being throughout perfecting” (Page 10)

“figures of spiritual things, both facts and doctrines, of the Christian dispensation.” (Page v)
