Introduction of Ephesians

Ephesians, written by Paul from prison around AD 60–62, is a majestic vision of the church. Though some scholars debate authorship, it has long been attributed to Paul and addressed to the church in Ephesus. The first half explores the riches of God’s grace and the unity of Jews and Gentiles in Christ; the second half calls believers to live worthy of that calling. Its soaring prayer and practical instructions paint a beautiful picture of what the church can be.
