The Letter to the Ephesians - by Thomas R Schreiner (Hardcover)

About the Book

A leading New Testament scholar offers an exegetically focused and theologically oriented commentary on Ephesians.

Book Synopsis

Paul's letter to the Ephesians has been beloved throughout church history and is full of theological significance and practical instruction. Its themes revolve around identity in Christ, both as individuals and as the church. Paul's goal is to help believers see the beauty and glory of the church and grow up into maturity.

Leading New Testament scholar Thomas Schreiner illuminates the text of Ephesians in this important, stand-alone commentary. Writing from an unapologetically evangelical and Reformed perspective, Schreiner's focus is on exegesis of the text and on drawing out theological significance. For each section of text, Schreiner examines the flow of thought and then provides a verse-by-verse interpretation. While providing a brief introduction to the letter, the author does not dwell much on topics such as authorship, historical background, or text-critical issues. His focus on exegesis and robust theological interpretation makes this an ideal resource for pastors, students, Bible teachers, and educated lay readers.
