Robert Hamilton's "Election in Romans Chapter 9"

I had to put the quote marks in the title, or it would look like Hamilton became one of the elect in Romans 9.

I will have to admit that Romans 9 sounded Calvinistic to me when I read it back in college. But then Romans 11:32 sounded universalistic to me, and still does.

I should point out that it seems to me to be a mistake to think of exegesis as an exact science, and an even bigger mistake to treat exegetical conclusions as having the same inspiration and authority as Scripture itself.
