By any means necessary, all Israel will be saved: Paul's creative use of the LXX in Jewett's Commentary on Romans [Paper presentation]. Society of Biblical Literature 2021 Annual Meeting, San Antonio, TX, United States. https://www.sbl-site.org/meetings/Congresses_Abstracts.aspx?MeetingId=39https://www.sbl-site.org/meetings/Congresses_Abstracts.aspx?MeetingId=39https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12521/450The Paul in Jewett’s Romans Commentary is a careful researcher who adapts scripture for his own rhetorical purposes. He views the LXX as a malleable source whose words can be creatively adjusted to advance his message of ecclesial reconciliation. Ironically, this approach to the LXX parallels the Pauline concept of the “Israel of God” that challenges Jews to embrace a flexibility that accommodates “Gentile” believers.Presentation
