Have we missed Paul's recall of the Old Testament figures in Romans 9? Paul defends God against an accusation of unreliability by way of a typological use of Abraham and company.
Volume I of this definitive series (Romans 9:1-13) analyzes Paul's defense of God's covenantal fidelity in the wake of Israel's rejection of Jesus. Operating with the precision of a seasoned litigator, Paul utilizes a complex web of Old Testament typology that few modern commentators have fully unraveled-until now.
Interacting skillfully with classic and modern literature across church history, Dr. Vic Rockhill examines the true mechanism of God's elective choice. Does Paul's argument point directly to his well-known justification by faith alone (Sola Fide)? Or does it rest entirely on a sovereign condition that no human can satisfy (Sola Deo)? Comprehensively researched and fiercely argued, this volume promises to disrupt the traditional paradigms of both sides of the debate.
