In 1971, Max King burst on the spiritual literary scene with The Spirit of Prophecy, turning the popular study of biblical eschatology-'end-times' teaching-on its head. Now, in IRREVOCABLE: Paul's radical vision in Romans 9-11, and why Christianity can't handle it, King revolutionizes our understanding of the nature and scope of salvation-in Scripture and our lives today-in this same powerful way. Drawing on his trademark attentiveness to the biblical text and the world of both Old and New Testaments, King helps us untangle some of the Apostle Paul's most confounding thought: a portion of his famous letter to the Romans, specifically chapters 9-11. Drawing on Hebrew eschatological and apocalyptic influences, the teachings of Jesus, and a unique understanding of the epistle writer's place in history, King demonstrates that this portion of Scripture-often used in religious history to exclude Jewish people from the table of blessing-means the exact opposite of what it's commonly taken to mean...and this is good news for us all. IRREVOCABLE is a ground-breaking work of canonical theology, with attention to biblical detail that impresses the studious, and a heart toward the grandeur of Paul's vision of God that bolsters the compassionate. If believers, skeptics, and scholars alike are ready are tired of old religious polarities that are increasingly irrelevant in a pluralist, globally-connected world, and are ready for a biblically-rooted vision of God-as-Source pervading all reality, IRREVOCABLE is your invitation to discover a paradigm-shifting vision of life with God, each other, and the entire universe that will change the way you see everything
