Summary: | The purpose of this article is to listen to John Calvin's view on the place of Israel from his exegesis of Romans 9-11, against the backdrop of the history of Christian exegesis of this same passage. After establishing that Calvin's view of Israel and the Jews was primarily determined by his biblical exegesis (and not so much by any noteworthy interaction with the Jews of his time), the historical voices of Origen, Ambrose, Augustine, Pelagius and Glossa Ordinaria are explored. In the last part Calvin's exegesis of Romans 9-11 is investigated. This investigation makes clear that Calvin is not caught up in a dogmatic discussion of predestination, but that he rather focuses on Paul's preaching with regards to Israel. There is the scandalum of Israel's unbelief whereby the visible body of the people of Israel has been generally rejected. But this is not a complete rejection. The secret election of God means that there is still an adoption, which is completely grounded in God's grace. Calvin has a broad understanding of Israel' which includes both Jewish and gentile Christians. But for the reformer of Geneva the Jews always remain the firstborn in God's house. Regarding the Jewish people as a collective, Calvin does not harbour any particular expectations. |
