#139 – Romans 11:1-24

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion on Romans by looking at Romans 11:1-24 and also discuss covenantal vs. dispensational views on God’s faithfulness to Israel.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• What is the central question of these verses?
• Why would Paul feel the need to preemptively respond to this question? What objection is he anticipating?
• Who are “His people” (V. 1) and “they” (V. 11)?
• V. 11,13 “Israel jealous?”
• Would you say that there are some promises that are going to find a unique fulfillment for the broader conception of Israel that are still on the table?
• Is Israel given primacy of place in the order of who received revelation and/or in God's grand scheme of salvation?
• Do you think most Christian Evangelecals today hold to a broadly dispensational view of God’s covenant faithfulness to Israel?
• Does context matter in this discussion?

Helpful Definitions: 

• Covenantal: Emphasize the unity of the Biblical text from Genesis to Revelation.
• Dispensational: Read God’s covenantal history as progressive.
