The ideas of allegory, metaphore and simile probably deserve their own thread anyway. Do you have any suggested reading?
As a start, I would recommend the following (disclaimer: I do not endorse everything written in these books. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

1) Principles of Biblical Interpretation, by Louis Berkhof, Baker. [color:"red"]Highly Recommended![/color]
2) Interpreting the Bible, by A. Berkeley Mickelsen, Eerdmans
3) Biblical Hermeneutics, by Milton S. Terry, Zondervan
4) Typology of Scripture, by Patrick Fairbairn, Kregel (available here: Monergism.com)

In His grace,
