Unlike Paul's letters to the Galatians or the Corinthians, the letter to
the Ephesians contains almost no clues about the situation and issues
its recipients faced. Nevertheless, the letter vividly depicts how God's
will revealed in Christ reorients believers' lives toward unity, mutual
respect, submission and love--in short, new life in Christ. Francis
Foulkes expounds with clarity and ease the letter's central themes and
emphases. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been
completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format
with the new cover design for the series. 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.
