About Ephesians: A New Covenant CommentaryEphesians speaks to our deepest questions about God: the redemptive plan of God written from ages past now revealed; the work of Christ complete and effective now and for eternity; the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives and build a community.

This short letter speaks to the twenty-first century’s longing for friendship and wholeness. |
