"St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans: A Practical Exposition. Vol. II" by Charles Gore is a commentary that examines the later part of Paul's letter to the Romans, looking closely at ideas like God's kindness, being chosen by God, and how faith and actions connect in Christianity. Gore thinks about how Jewish and non-Jewish people connect with God, pointing out the moral and spiritual duties that come with believing in Christ. Early on, the book goes into Paul's feelings and struggles as he deals with the Israelite's rejection of Christ. Gore talks about Paul's deep sadness over his people turning away, but also makes it clear that God will keep his promises. He talks about a small group of Israelites that shows God's ongoing grace, explaining that the agreement with the Jewish people hasn't ended, but has changed to include non-Jewish people in God's plan. Through this analysis, Gore tries to explain any confusing ideas about God's fairness and kindness, arguing that God's main goal is to show kindness to everyone.
