With extensive research and thoughtful chapter-by-chapter exegesis, this beautifully written commentary leads readers through all aspects of the book of Ephesians -- sociological, historical, and theological -- to help them better understand its meaning and relevance. As with all BECNT volumes, Ephesians features the author's detailed interaction with the Greek text. This commentary admirably achieves the dual aims of the series -- academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility -- making it a useful tool for professors, students, and pastors. The acclaimed user-friendly design includes shaded chapter introductions summarizing the key themes of each thought unit. - Publisher.00aBible.pN.T.pEphesiansvCommentaries.933256 0aBaker exegetical commentary on the New Testament.933257 a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg 2lcccREFhBS 2341.2i.B360 2010 00102lcc40708REFaAUA.1bAUA.1cREFd2013-04-23eDonation, Theological Book Networkg25.00hAUA013353l1oBS 2341.2 .B360 2010pAUA013353r2016-08-08 00:00:00s2016-08-05v25.00w2013-04-23yREF
