Heya!
My wife just bought me Leon Morris' commentary on Romans - and as with all commentaries on Romans, I look to see what they say on Romans 9. He seems to be saying that it talking about Israel as a whole (a slight twist on the nations view) and that they are elected to service in Romans 9, NOT salvation.
I see what he is saying, but I am not entirely comfortable with this reasoning. I believe it IS about individuals, and it IS about salvation. I am considering returning this commentary and getting Moo's volume. It's not that I don't want to read differing views, but rather I am going to a family Bible study next weekend on Romans 9, and would like a more distinctly reformed commentary to aid me in preparing for what will no doubt be more of a debate then a study.
So, would Moo's be better then Morris' in this case? Or perhaps another commentary altogether - I want to stay with a technical commentary that deals directly with the Greek (I am kind of a Greek-Geek lol).
Take care.
