Reasoner's Now Shown Mercy is the first commentary in 500 years that returns to the quadriga (literal sense plus threefold spiritual sense) in its exegetical approach. The commentary shows how Paul understands Israel to be valued by God for its own sake, not simply as a type of the church or a preparation for the Christ. Paul views Israel as under God's mercy even as he writes Romans chapters 9-11, grieving as he is over both Israel's political subjugation in the first century and its spiritual condition. Since these chapters show that God values Israel for its own sake, the commentary's exegesis calls gentile believers to heed anew Paul's warning against boasting over Israel.

Industry Reviews

“In Now Shown Mercy, Mark Reasoner, who has an exceedingly broad and profoundly deep knowledge of Paul’s letters and their vast interpretive history, illuminates how Romans 9–11 provides the foundation upon which Christians might build a more positive understanding of their enduring relationship with Judaism. If you’re interested in Paul, the New Testament, or in Jewish/Christian relations, you will learn a tremendous amount from this book.”
—Joel Kaminsky, Morningstar professor of Jewish studies, Smith College

“Mark Reasoner’s commentary is effectively a sustained argument that Romans 9–11, as Paul’s discourse about the inherent value of Israel, is ‘the beating heart of the letter.’ Full of supporting details, this book provides a powerful challenge to any who think that Paul views Israel as second-class, subordinate to the church.”
—Peter Oakes, Rylands professor of biblical criticism and exegesis, University of Manchester

“Mark Reasoner has provided us with an outstanding contribution to scholarship on Paul’s letter to the Romans in the context of first-century Judaism. Reasoner’s textual discussions are clear and truly enlightening, enabling in-depth appreciation of the meaning of Paul’s words in his generation and beyond. Reasoner’s work includes careful comparison to all of Paul’s authentic letters and careful thought on Paul’s words in light of literature from Qumran and early rabbinic oral traditions.”
—Aaron Amit, associate professor of Talmud department, Bar-Ilan University
