Book Description:
An accessible introduction to the book of Ephesians from New Testament scholar N. T. Wright.
Ephesians presents a wide-ranging panorama of the Christian gospel and its implications. It looks backwards toward the creation of the world, and it looks forward to the time when God will be “all in all.” It foregrounds the work of Jesus the Messiah and the work of the spirit, and it positions the church as central to the purposes of God–a small, working model of new creation. This understanding of the church is central to the New Testament, but nowhere is it clearer than in Ephesians. Paul’s view of salvation is not about being rescued from the world, but about the coming together of heaven and earth in Jesus the Messiah. Against this backdrop, many of the most challenging parts of Ephesians–spiritual warfare, women in the church, powers and principalities, what Paul means by “salvation”–come into sharper focus.
In The Vision of Ephesians, well-known New Testament scholar N.T. Wright offers an accessible introduction that opens the text in a way that helps what may seem dense and allusive become clear, fresh, challenging, and encouraging. Wright works through the letter in nine sections, exploring both apocalyptic insights and bracing challenges for the church, whether in the first century or the twenty-first.
