Description

From a foremost authority on the New Testament comes a major new commentary on Ephesians--a letter of truth, love, and unity to our superficial world. This volume in the Pillar New Testament Commentary series provides a rich exposition of Ephesians, one of the most significant documents ever written. Using the fruits of recent biblical research, Peter O'Brien shows how Ephesians sums up God's magnificent plan of salvation in Christ and spells out his divine purpose for believers today. A model of the scholarly excellence characteristic of the entire PNTC series (which now features a striking new jacket design), O'Brien's Ephesians will become the standard work on this profoundly influential book.

Here is a commentary that expounds this marvelous epistle with a clarity and reverence that are quite refreshing.

This commentary sold me on Peter O'Brien. He proves himself here a trustworthy and capable writer / commentator. (I later also picked up his works on Philippians and Colossians!) The Pillar series is limited in how much technical Greek information is included, but his insight, explanations and

conclusions do not suffer limitation.

He surprised me when he said Ephesians 1:9-10 is the theological core of Ephesians. I didn't believe him at first, but in time he convinced me.

An excellent commentary by an excellent commentator. Having this volume along with Hoehner will serve you quite well.
