Let me readily say that I have not read Wright on Romans 9-11, so I can’t say whether or not Mr. McKnight’s comments tell the whole story behind Wright’s convictions. What I think is interesting is that there is no theological bias that the “Jews” Paul is referring to in Romans 9-11 has spiritually morphed into the church. It’s as if a somewhat literal reading of the text produced a somewhat dispensational sounding approach.
I am looking forward to listening to John Piper’s covenental series on Romans 9-11 and based on McKnight’s comments, I may even give Wright a little read as well.
