But cf. Holtz, “The Judgment on the Jews,” 291. Presenting the saying in Rom 11:25–26 as “the end of a long reflection on Israel’s fate in the light of the revelation of the gospel” (page 288), Holtz’s article insists on the lack of real development in Paul’s thought, attempting to harmonize 1 Thess 2:15–16 and Rom 11:25–26. See also S. Kim, “The ‘Mystery’ of Rom. 11.25–26 Once More,” nts 43 (1997): 412–29, who likewise rejects the idea of a change in Paul’s thinking derived from the actual missionary situation, arguing instead that the mystery of “Gentiles first” had been revealed to Paul already in his Damascus road experience.
