The letter to the Ephesians provokes interpretive questions of authorship, audience, date, occasion, and purpose of writing. Interacting critically with this intense debate, Lynn Cohick provides an exegetically astute analysis of the six chapters of Ephesians. Cohick offers an insightful account of the epistles theology and soteriology as she attends to the letters expansive prose and lofty vision of Gods redemption. Cohick investigates the complex relationship between Jews and gentiles within the text and in the broader cultural context as she analyzes the epistles description of the Church and its appeals for discipleship. Her extensive knowledge of the social realities of women and families in the ancient world is evident throughout. Cohicks historically sensitive and theologically rich commentary will resource a new generation of scholars, pastors, and lay leaders.About author(s):Lynn H.
