| Summary |
"St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans: A Practical Exposition. Vol. II" by Charles Gore is a theological commentary written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the latter chapters of St. Paul's letter to the Romans, specifically addressing the themes of divine grace, election, and the relationship between faith and works within the Christian doctrine. Gore explores the complexities of Jewish and Gentile relationships with God, emphasizing the moral and spiritual responsibilities tied to belief in Christ. The opening portion of the exposition delves into the emotional and theological struggles faced by St. Paul regarding the rejection of the Israelites. He acknowledges the heartfelt sorrow over the falling away of his own people, while passionately asserting that God's promises remain intact. Gore introduces the concept of a 'remnant' within Israel that exemplifies God's continued grace, and illustrates how the covenant with the Jewish people is not broken but transformed as the Gentiles are incorporated into this divine plan. Through his examination, Gore aims to reconcile the perceived contradictions in God's justice and mercy, ultimately asserting God's overarching purpose to demonstrate mercy to all humanity.
