the early christians, in considering the old testament, needed to decide what its role and purpose was for them, given that christian revelation and the new covenant might be considered to have superseded it, and many specific old testament rules and requirements were no longer being followed from books such as leviticus dealing with expounding of the law. one purpose of the old testament for christians was to demonstrate that the ministry of jesus and christ's first coming had been prophesied and foreseen, and the gospels indeed contain many old testament prophecies fulfilled by christ and quotations from the old testament which explicitly and implicitly link jesus to old testament prophecies. typology greatly extended the number of these links by adding others based on the similarity of old testament actions or situations to an aspect of christ.
