A readable and faithful commentary on Ephesians for bible study leaders and students alike.
'Ephesians reads more like a sermon - in some parts more like a prayer or a mighty doxology - than a letter written to meet some special need in a church or group of churches. It is like a sermon on the greatest and widest them possible for a Christian sermon - the eternal purpose of God which he is fulfilling through his Son Jesus Christ, and working out in and through the church.' So starts Francis Foulkes' commentary on Ephesians.
The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable, and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament.
These Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date, and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.
Part of The Good Book Company's Commentary List, this commentary has been selected because it not only deals faithfully and carefully with God's Word but is readable, practical and accessible as well.
