"A masterful example of clarity, precision, and theological sensitivity"

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 for individuals and for the church. Paul's goal is to help believers see the beauty and glory of Christ and grow up into maturity.

This commentary by renowned New Testament scholar Thomas R. Schreiner illuminates the text of Ephesians. Writing from an evangelical and Reformed perspective, his 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. His introduction to the letter deals briefly with topics such as authorship, historical setting, and epistolary structure. Schreiner's focus on exegesis and robust theological interpretation makes this an ideal resource for pastors, Bible teachers, and all students of the Bible.

"This commentary is a masterful example of clarity, precision, and theological sensitivity. Schreiner engages in straightforward exegesis that stays in irenic conversation with interpreters of Ephesians from the patristic period down to our own time. He manages to do this in concise, readable prose and with an eye on the practical application of the text to everyday Christian life and thought."
--Frank Thielman, Beeson Divinity School
