N.T. Wright has cautioned against what he calls a “modern-day fantasy” approach to the phrase “All Israel will be saved.”

Speaking on Romans 11, the theologian urged careful attention to Paul’s original intent.

“Paul’s famous promise does not refer to ethnic Israel alone, despite what Wright described as some of the more problematic renderings of Romans 11:26.”

He stressed that misreading the text can lead believers away from the fullness of the gospel message.

“Expounding on Romans 11, N.T. Wright offered his insight into one of the New Testament’s most debated verses.”
