Called from the Jews and from the Gentiles

What does the phrase „people of God“ mean for Paul? What is the function of the „remnant“, both with respect to Gentile-Christians and to Israel as a whole? What is the relationship between Gentile-Christians and the „hardened“ part of Israel? How is Paul's understanding of the future of Israel shaped by the scriptural hope for Israel's restoration? Pablo Gadenz seeks to answer ecclesiological questions such as these as he carefully examines Paul's argument in Romans 9-11. Using rhetorical analysis and paying close attention to the scriptural background of Paul's thought, he investigates the network of relationships between Israel and the nations, both internal and external to the church.
