MBS 080 - The Theology of Israel- A Study of Romans 9-11  by Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum

These three chapters of the Book of Romans are often skipped in many commentaries. These commentators do not take what God said about Israel too seriously and teach that the Church is the “new Israel.” They, therefore, do not feel that these chapters are important. Or is it, perhaps, that what Paul has to say here contradicts their theology? These commentaries provide a verse by verse, word by word commentary covering chapters 1–8, and then skip over to chapters 12–16, totally dropping chapters 9, 10, and 11. Other commentaries that do take chapters 9, 10, and 11 somewhat seriously and do comment upon them, will often refer to these three chapters as being merely “parenthetical,” not part of Paul’s main argument.

This study will show that these three chapters vindicate God’s righteousness in His relationship to Israel.
