5 Brown makes a similar distinction when discussing the criteria by which one can determine an authentic sensus plenior. He notes how the “fuller sense” is grounded either in “the use of the OT in the NT” or “the use of the Bible in the post-Biblical church practice and preaching.” See R. Brown, An Introduction to the New Testament, 41. See also his earlier treatment of this topic in R. Brown, “Hermeneutics” (1968), 616–617.

6 PBC, Interpretation of the Bible in the Church, II, B, 2, (my emphasis).

7 Similar to the PBC, Brown draws attention to the “types that have been pointed out by the NT” and “already existing scriptural patterns” as criteria for recognizing an authentic typical sense (see R. Brown, “Hermeneutics,” [1968], 619). See also R. Brown, An Introduction to the New Testament, 41. As we will see below, Brown is also open to the possibility of extra-Biblical typologies (those which are established not by the New Testament) provided they are found in a consensus of the Fathers, the liturgy, or Church doctrine. Although he recognizes these as authentic typologies, Brown still gives a certain primacy to those types that are supported by the Scriptures themselves.
