Paul and the Resurrection of Israel

The chapter explores the book 'Paul and the Resurrection of Israel' and its impact on understanding the New Covenant promise as seen in the Old and New Testaments, focusing on the inclusion of Gentiles in the covenant and the reunion of the houses of Israel and Judah. The speaker, Jason Staples, delves into restoration eschatology in late Second Temple Judaism and its influence on Paul's theological framework, emphasizing the significance of the 12 tribe concept and distinguishing Jews from the larger group of Israel. The discussion also touches on the complex relationship between exile, restoration, and the covenant in Second Temple period texts, highlighting the ongoing expectation of restoration and the transformation required at a heart level for lasting restoration.
