Jacob 5; olive
-
Compares the use of olive symbolism in Romans 11 and Jacob 5. The focus in both is on grafting. There is a great deal of similarity, possibly indicating a common text underlying both Jacob 5 and Romans 11. These two passages are responses to different situations. Jacob 5 is a call to repentance, while Paul uses the occasion to warn the Gentiles not to think themselves superior to the Jews.
