This is a study in the interpretation of Paul with a focus on an interpretation of Romans 9 to 11 as a defense of God's faithfulness to Israel. The study begins with reviews of three historical approaches to studying Paul's relationship to the Judiasm of his era, the third anchoring Paul with the Judaism of his time (Second Temple Judaism). It then moves to an interpretation of his writings from a broad framework within that Jewish sociocultural paradigm. The study suggests that Paul's letter to the Romans provides a defense of Judaism, and Romans 9 to 11 provides an argument for God's faithfulness to Israel. Romans 11, particularly 11:25-32, presents a picture of Israel's redemption and how gentiles relate to Israel's redemption, through the mercy they have received via Israel. Gentiles are seen as instrumental in the redemption of Israel. Romans 11:25-32 should be read as a missional paradigm to Israel.

Industry Reviews

“Mercy for All argues chronologically, textually, and persuasively that Romans 9–11 fits within Paul’s acceptance of the Jewish covenant and the redemption of the Jewish people as Israel. Anderson carefully works through historical trends in locating the heart of Paul’s thought and allows Paul’s voice to shine through.”
—Ron C. Fay, adjunct professor of New Testament, Liberty University

“In recent years, scholars have been rediscovering just how Jewish Paul remained even after he began to follow Jesus as Lord. Robert Anderson offers a clear picture of where studies of this topic have come from, where many of them are today, and one possible way forward in positioning Paul on a spectrum of first-century Jewish views. Whether you agree with all of Anderson’s interpretations of specific texts, this book will give you a good sense of the diversity of the Judaism of Paul’s world, the complexity of Paul’s concern for his people, and a missional approach for Christian witness in today’s world.”
—Craig L. Blomberg, distinguished professor emeritus of New Testament, Denver Seminary
