An alternative typology vs Gustaf Aulen

Ben Myers reflects interestingly out of his teaching: Faith and Theology: How does Jesus save? An alternative typology (against Gustaf Aul�n):

...alternative typologies of Christian views of salvation. So here's a suggested typology of six themes in patristic literature:
1. Christ the Second Adam. ... Christ replaces Adam as the new life-giving head of the human family. (Main scriptural source: Romans 5.)
2. Christ the Sacrifice. ... explicit mainly in liturgical texts. ... artfully interwoven with a plethora of other Old Testament themes and images. (Main scriptural source: the Pentateuch and the Gospel of John.)
3. Christ the Teacher. ... Christ is the divine pedagogue who, by a slow and patient process, leads human souls up into the presence of divine wisdom. In some accounts this process extends into the afterlife. ... life is a school, and deification is the graduation prize. (Main scriptural source: the four Gospels.)
4. Christ the Brother. The adoption theme is prevalent in early Christian writing. ... Christ is God by nature, and as his brothers and sisters we become gods by grace. ... (Main scriptural source: Romans 8.)
5. Christ the Life-giver. ... The divine Logos had to become incarnate in order to become capable of dying; by entering into death, he absorbs death into the divine life, thus draining away death's power; and by rising again, he transforms corruptible human nature into a glorious incorruptible nature. ... (Main scriptural source: 1 Corinthians 15.)
6. Christ the Healer. ... Very frequently Christ is described as a physician who cures our illness. Often he is also described as medicine. Gregory of Nazianzus speaks of the incarnation as a healing of human nature. Augustine is particularly fond of the healing theme, ... Christ's humility as the medicine that cures us. (Main scriptural source: the four Gospels.)

I'm still considering this, but I think that it could be a helpful way of thinking about the issue, doubly so in view of the way that Ben Myers relates it all back to the Scriptural sources and motifs. He points out that in actual usage these tend to flow together in various combinations.
