08 Mar In Romans, how does Paul rationalize the lack of receptivity of many Jews to his preaching in Chapters 9-11?
Module # 8 Recap
Paul intends to liberate Christians from their past mentalities dominated by bloodline, gender, or social status. What matters is one’s relationship with God based on faith. Galatians and Romans became foundational for Protestantism 1500 years later by challenging the mentality of some Catholics at that time who thought that certain practices would insure salvation. A proper understanding of Paul will reveal that both Protestants and Catholics would benefit from examining their motivations. For Paul, faith means the willingness to live in the presence of the God who offers life as a gift.
