John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost consciously seeksto "justify
the ways of God to men." The Apostle Paul's magisterialletter to
the Romans does not so much intend to defend God's ways as to
declare God's Wordaa Word made public in thegospel. InRomans
9a11this declaration occurs within the context ofGod's troubled
relationship with Israel, both past and future. God and Israel
traces the ways in which providence and purpose are realized as
God's Word to and about Israel in Romans 9a11. Written by gifted
and tested Pauline interpreters, the volume offers a fresh reading
of this vexed and vexing part of Paul in the context of Romans and
the Pauline witness. God and Israel squarely tackles the questions
ofPaul's understanding of salvation-historical time (L. Ann
Jervis); the faithfulness and sovereignty of the covenantal God
(Michael Wolter); Paul's mythic rhetoric of "ingrafting" (Davina C.
Lopez); the disputed relation between Israel and her "enemies," the
Gentiles (J. Ross Wagner); the role of Christ in God's purposes and
his relation to the nation of Israel (Simon Gathercole); and,
finally, the unfailing eschatological hope for Israel's full
inclusion (Jonathan A. Linebaugh). If only simple solutions are
sought for the challenges Paul's gospel and his letters
pose,frustration will result. But if readersfollow the Apostle to
theGentilesas he wrestles with ultimate questions of God's
purposesin his own anguish over kith and kin,then wisdom will
befound.
