About This Book

The author offers a careful exposition of St. Paul's treatment of God's justice and election regarding Israel, defending divine freedom in choosing mercy and explaining Israel's present rejection without denying final hope. Detailed chapter-by-chapter analysis treats the theodicy of chapters ix–xi, then turns to practical ethical instruction in chapters xii–xv, covering self-surrender, communal life, relations to secular authority, love as the summation of duty, mutual toleration, and inclusiveness toward Gentiles. The work concludes with personal greetings and a doxology, and appends theological notes on faith, conscience, atonement, evolution, baptismal practice, and related devotional and doctrinal questions.
