Reading Romans Within Judaism - Mark D. Nanos

Over Fifty Years Ago, Vatican Ii's Nostra Aetate 4 Drew From Romans 11 To Challenge The Way Paul's Voice Has Been Used To Negatively Discuss Jews And Judaism. The Church Called For Catholics To Conceptualize Jews As Brothers In An Everlasting Covenant, And Many Other Christian Organizations Have Expressed Similar Sentiments In The Years Since. Nevertheless, The Portrayal Of Jews As Branches Broken Off, Hardened, Without Faith, Disobedient, And Enemies Of God Whom Christians Have Replaced As True Israel, Are Among The Many Ways That Readers Encounter Paul's Views Of Jews And Judaism In Today's Translations And Interpretations Of This Chapter, And Throughout The Letter As Well.
