Abstract
This chapter tackles the interpretation of Romans from Latin fathers, such as Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, and John Calvin. The Jewish questions proceeded to spark discussion within the framework of avowedly anti-Jewish polemical treatises, even though the question of Israel's place in the divine economy of salvation hardly lost its currency during the Middle Ages. Meanwhile, Augustine's comments on Romans restore the salvation of “all Israel” to the end time. The chapter also notes how Thomas Aquinas' commentary on the Jews' role in salvation history only contributed to the ambiguity of Romans. Many great Christian theologians hedged their bets accommodating multiple, even contradictory, viewpoints on the salvation of eschatological Israel.
