Download or read book Ephesians An Introduction and Study Guide written by Stephen E. Fowl and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this guide Stephen E. Fowl introduces students to both theological fruit and critical issues of the letter to the Ephesians. On the theological front, Fowl shows how Ephesians offers an unparalleled cosmic vision of the significance of the death and resurrection of Jesus, of the role of heavenly powers in the universe, and of how the community of Christians is to engage with those powers. Fowl also opens up the major identity questions Ephesians shows existed for early Christians: how to conceive the relationship of Gentiles with the Jews from among whom their faith emerged, and how to live as a Christian within households ordered on patriarchal lines while not capitulating to patriarchy. On the critical front, Fowl provides an introduction to the key critical questions and issues, such as whether this letter was actually written to a church in Ephesus, and whether Paul the apostle was indeed the author of the letter. Yet, whilst there are demanding linguistic, historical and cultural questions to be answered, Fowl is careful to point out that this should not be done at the expense of reading the text closely and appreciating its meaning and message.

In his letter to the church in Ephesus, Paul gives us beautiful insight into the Lord's redemptive power. In this six-session video Bible study (video streaming included), Lori Wilhite draws on her experience as the pastor's wife of a large congregation to share the truth of what Paul tells the Ephesians about identity, unity, and the impact these things have on our hearts, our focus, and our love for God.
