The Purpose of Election in Romans 9:11: Rethinking the Doctrine of Predestination Through the Theology of the Cross

Abstract: The renewed interest in the reading of Romans 9-11 over recent decades is indicative of the attempt to settle the controversy concerning the doctrine of double predestination. In reference to Luther’s directive that the theology of the cross be the lens through which all other doctrines be examined, and based on the “New Perspective” on Paul’s writings and his Jewish background, this dissertation reassesses the Reformed doctrine of predestination through Paul’s convictions concerning the cross and his theological reading of the Old Testament. Accordingly, this study establishes that the primary principle which Paul underscores within the context of Romans 9 is that the cross is the supreme expression of God’s purpose of election. The cross of Christ not only is a statement about God’s determination in election, but it also has an existential purpose in its ways and works. Furthermore, the readers of Romans 9 will recognize that when Paul discusses election, he engages a specifically Trinitarian articulation of God, who works out His election of grace in a definite yet surprising manner. Such a reassessed scriptural perspective on the purpose of election is clearly stated in Paul’s understanding of God’s unfolding promises of redemption for both Jews and Gentiles through the suffering Christ.

Agrarian doctrines of development: Part I

Abstract: Doctrines of development are understood through a distinction between intentional development and the immanent process of capitalist development. Agrarian doctrine consists of proposals, usually associated with official policy, to undertake agrarian schemes of development based on small‐farm, household production. The intention is to compensate for mass unemployment, urban poverty and the threat of rural emigration. This article gives a historical account of two cases of agrarian doctrine. The first, that of nineteenth‐century Quebec following self‐government in 1848, illustrates the intention of land colonisation schemes to prevent emigration from French Canadian territory to the United States. In the second case, that of twentieth‐century Kenya, schemes of household production were developed in the face of the emergence of mass unemployment; their promotion, especially after political independence in 1963, accompanied the development of indigenous capitalism. The social trusteeship of development is the...
