The events narrated in the Old Testament prefigure, according Auerbach, what the New revealed. And here lies the notion of mutual padding that occurs in the biblical text and that restricts itself to allegorizing approach and present in Prosperity Theology of the Old Testament, which became the main component of the religious breakdown in evangelical circles. When speaking of Figure, Auerbach points for inclusion. Includes the Old Testament in the New and vice versa. Also includes one who welcomes the biblical text, his identification.
