He adheres to the concept of one author intended interpretation, but typology (analogous similitude) allows for multiple applications of that thought. He seeks to be unbiased in the presentation and evaluation of the historical views regarding the Lord’s Supper. . He accepts motifs that arise from the biblical text (exegesis); he rejects ideas that are read into the text (eisegesis). His devotion to the Bible as God’s Word, his expertise in methods of interpretation and his Ph.D. in historical theology help us grow in our faith and understanding.
Dr. Nixon understands Paul in Galatians 4:24 used Philo’s newly coined word to letterally mean “This is speaking other things.” Paul uses the word of typology “Hagar … corresponds to the present Jerusalem.” Allegory substitutes. Paul does not use or license an interpreter to allegorize. Elsewhere Paul condemns allegorization.view less
