In this lecture, Dr. Stephen Bagby reflects on the story of Jacob and Esau, culminating in their unexpected reconciliation—a moment that reveals the deeper arc of Scripture. Engaging Romans 9–11, he challenges readings that divide God’s justice and mercy, instead presenting them as expressions of a single, unwavering love. From Genesis to the New Testament, he traces a vision of God’s work as one of restoration—drawing all people, and indeed all creation, toward reconciliation and peace.
