Romans 9-11 God's Plan for the Salvation of Ethnic Israel Rosealie Robinson

This book is a study of Romans 9-11 that seeks to answer the following question: What is Paul's understanding of ethnic Israel in God's plan for salvation, in light of the coming of Christ? Throughout this study "Israel" means "ethnic Israel." As such, it has a corporate sense whereby it represents certain Jews (the elected people group physically descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who God made his promises too), that are found within "the nation of Israel." Background details are provided and a summary of the main isssues in Romans 9-10:21; 11:13-24, 33-36 are given. An exegesis of Romans 11:1-12 and 25-32 is also carried out. Questions such as: Has God's promises to ethnic Israel failed? Is God unjust? Is God immoral? ... are raised and answered. And a reworked interpretation of Paul's metaphors is presented, one that gives an alternative view to "replacement theology." The meaning of "All Israel" is also explained. It will interest any reader who wants to gain more insight into God's plan for ethnic Israel and who maybe looking for a fresh interpretation of this passage.
