Part Eight of Barnhouse’s monumental commentary tackles Romans 9:1 – 11:36. Entitled God’s Covenants, Part Eight shows that Paul’s main purpose in these chapters is to demonstrate that his great teaching on justification, sanctification and the assurance of the believer, set forth in the first eight chapters, is not to overlook the blessing or restoration which is to come to his ancient people, Israel. These chapters show that God has not cast off His people, but that His ultimate purpose includes the fulfillment of every promise made to them. Among the 19 messages in Part Eight are “Paul’s Desire for Israel,” “Children of the Promise,” “God’s Disobedient People,” and “When God Hardens Hearts.”
