- While it is often a general conclusion that Paul only preached to the Gentiles, in Romans 11 St. Paul speaks of his mission of evangelizing not just the Gentiles but also his Jewish brothers and sisters.

Thank you Dr Pitre, always looking forward to your new vids each week. I've just started reading your book, A Catholic Introduction to the Bible, The Old Testament. Love the book. So much to learn, and so thankful to you and J Bergsma for writing it. Your book is far more superior than my other books ( L Boadt, R Coggins) about the OT.
There is no difference between Jews or gentiles all are same..
There are some interesting parallels between what Paul writes in Romans and some Rabbinic discussions in the Talmud concerning the coming of the Messiah.
"Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death."
If you don't know the difference between Judah and Israel, your guesses at the interpretation of prophecy and the writings of the New Covenant are misled.
I don't see what's "hyperbolic" about Paul's statement that he's trying to make his fellow Jews jealous so that they will accept the Gospel. The Messiah is a Jewish messiah, intended (first, as we know now, but solely, as far as pre-Christian Jews were concerned) for the Jewish people--God's Chosen People. What else could a Jew feel, then, if he begins to suspect that a prize intended for him is being claimed by others...particularly by those who, up until then, have been considered unclean, lesser beings unfit for social intercourse, much less sonship with God? I don't see how recognizing that possible reaction of at least some Jews to Gentile conversions involves exaggeration...
Interesting because Paul was never anywhere close to Jesus the person.
True, but it does reveal the evil behavior of God in the Old Testament verses the grace of the New Testament 😮
