We came across a man who has worked diligently, putting together a commentary on the whole Bible. His work is online, and this complete Bible commentary is searchable. His work is orthodox in terms of the larger picture of the Reformation faith that we hold, consistent for example, with the standards found in Westminster and in Heidelberg. Today we have the privilege of talking with this man, asking him to give a biblical explanation of Romans 11. Here is a link to the commentary: https://audio.alastairadversaria.com/explore/

Perhaps you will follow this link and use the page to look up a particular book and chapter, like I did. Here is his link to Romans 11

As for a sample of this good commentary, read this: Paul "discusses the bringing in of the Gentiles, exciting his Jewish compatriots to jealousy, so that they too might be saved.

[7:42] Paul employs the image of an olive tree, with natural branches cut off, and wild branches grafted in to illustrate the situation in his day. The wild branches are grafted in contrary to nature, contrasting with the natural branches, which, even if broken off, could easily be grafted in again.

[8:00] The wild branches grafted in enjoy their place by a sort of double grace. Not only are they supported by the root, as the natural branches are, but their very inclusion in the tree is solely by virtue of a radical act of gracious engrafting."

Here is a sample that illustrates the faithfulness of this work, and it's bigger picture approach:

"One of the salutary effects of adopting a more careful reading of the New Testament's teaching concerning Israel, the New Covenant, the Church, and the future, a reading that doesn't presume that all the loose ends are sewn up in Christ's first advent, may be a greater attentiveness to the innumerable suggestive details and unresolved narrative threads in the scripture."
