About this title

Synopsis

<p><strong>Biblical Foundations Award Finalist</strong></p><p>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, relying on his power and strength. In this Tyndale Commentary, Darrell Bock shows how thisprecious jewel of a letter combines gospel doctrine, enablement, and exhortation to life.The Tyndale Commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The <em>Introduction</em> to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting, and purpose. Following a structural <em>Analysis</em>, the <em>Commentary</em> takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. <em>Additional Notes</em> provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new New Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: <em>Context</em>, <em>Comment</em>, and <em>Theology</em>. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.</p>
