Understanding Romans 11:26: Baptist Perspectives‪.‬

A New Testament scholar would be hard-pressed to find a passage within the corpus of Paul that is more difficult to understand than the words concerning the salvation of Israel in Romans 11:26. Biblical scholars have made numerous attempts to understand Paul's own view. It appears that the conservative nature of Baptists in general and Southern Baptists in particular has produced as much silence as scholarship on the nature of salvation as it pertains to Jews and Gentiles particularly in Romans 9-11. The significance of this passage as it pertains to Jewish-Christian dialogue is enormous. Therefore, it seems appropriate that an exegetical article on Romans 11:26 appear in Baptist History and Heritage as it addresses Baptist-Jewish relations.
