Episode #139 – Romans 11:1-24

Episode Summary:

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 border 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.
