About this ebook
Chapters 9–11 of Romans
remains one of the most contested biblical texts in scholarship today. Theological
discussions often limit the focus of this passage to God’s sovereignty or to Paul’s defense of God’s faithfulness, but less attention has been devoted to the form and style.
Wallace demonstrates how Paul weaves two distinct Jewish
literary forms together––lament and midrash—into a logical narrative concerning
Israel’s salvation. Attention is given to Paul’s poetical structures, key literary
terms, and use of Old Testament contexts.
