I find the context more closely linked to Peter's question that to issues about Jews and Gentiles - though I concede that the analogy of the vineyard is suggestive. I am not sure that I agree with taking the text in that direction, I would have to examine Wright's arguments more closely. <br /><br />Recent blog post: <A HREF="http://www.mandm.org.nz/2009/04/sunday-study-parable-of-workers-in.html" REL="nofollow">Sunday Study: The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard</A>Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-80255462992074994212009-04-26T22:35:00.001+12:002009-04-26T22:35:00.001+12:00Doesn't Wright also point out the whole Jew-Gentil...Doesn't Wright also point out the whole Jew-Gentile tension with the Gentiles being the 'late-comers' who share the inheritance, etc. (tying this passage in with Romans 9-11, and Ephesians, etc., etc.)??<br /><br />Recent blog post: <A HREF="http://www.fruitfulfaith.net/2009/04/tommy-tramp-time/" REL="nofollow">tommy-tramp time</A>Dale Campbellnoreply@blogger.com
