The ‘Mystery’ of Rom 11.25–6 Once More

One of the theses submitted in my book, The Origin of Paul's Gospel, was that Paul obtained the ‘mystery’ of Rom 11.25–6 from an interpretation of his Damascus revelation chiefly in the light of Isa 6 and 49. Some critics have objected to it by pointing to 1 Thess 2.14–16 or Rom 9.2–3; 10.1, and others have attempted to explain the origin of the ‘mystery’ solely in terms of Paul's scriptural exegesis in the light of his actual missionary situation. However, I find neither these attempts adequate nor the objections to my thesis substantial. Hence this new attempt to strengthen my thesis and develop it further.
