How does Paul assess Israel’s error with reference to the law in Romans 9:30–10:13, and what solution does he present? In the years since the dawn of the New Perspective on Paul, interpreters continue to discuss what the Mosaic law required and how Paul described Israel’s plight and solution. In this work, Richard Winston argues for a traditional law-gospel explanation of a central passage in Paul’s discussion of faith and the law (Rom 9:30–10:13), defending the viewpoint that Paul critiqued Israel for seeking to obtain a right standing with God by obeying the law (as the law requires), and presenting faith in Christ as the solution for their problem. Throughout the discussion, special attention is given to how Paul rightly interprets the Old Testament to show that it is in agreement with his argument.
