Romans Chapter 9
IN THIS LESSON
Here comes a great reversal in Romans. The joy and excitement of Romans 8—especially 8:31-39—are now met with Paul’s great sorrow and unceasing anguish (9:2). What is the cause of this sorrow? According to this passage, what is the problem of the Jews/Israel for Paul? What are common Christian misunderstandings about the Jews? How can we better understand and combat anti-Semitism?
