Product Highlights
Ephesians: A Biblical Commentary in the Wesleyan Tradition is part of a commentary series that interprets the books of the Bible from a Wesleyan perspective. While is is designed primarily with lay people in mind-Sunday school teachers, Bible study leaders, students of the Word-pastors will also find it most helpful. Following the New International Version, each book of the Bible is explained paragraph by paragraph, illuminating the key concepts of each passage and how they relate to our life and times today. This series offers insight into the Scripture that brings greater understanding of what the Bible says, its significance for our lives today, and further transformation into the images of Christ. Everyone can be an heir to God's kingdom-Jew and Gentile alike-says Paul in his Ephesian letter. This is the 'mystery' of the gospel, revealed by God to this 'Apostle to the Gentiles.' But this is not a mystery to God; He has planned this salvation since Creation, for all humankind, through His Son, Christ Jesus. Paul goes on to reveal several guidelines for living in a manner worthy of this salvation. Author Mark Holmes, a pastor and teacher of God's Word, aptly expounds Paul's teachings, showing that the subjects addressed within these guidelines are 'lifestyle and understanding of God…relationships with the world and society…goals, dreams, worship practices, and even the means by which one follows the will of God.' Holmes links Paul's words with a Trinitarian theme: God's initiation of the plan of salvation: Jesus' sacrifice in the working of the plan; and the Holy Spirit's power to sustain the holy life of those who choose this salvation. 'If ever there were an owner's manual for the Christian, the Ephesian letter would be it.' About the Author
