From a foremost authority on the New Testament comes a major new commentary on Ephesians--a letter of truth, love, and unity to our superficial world. This volume in the Pillar New Testament Commentary series provides a rich exposition of Ephesians, one of the most significant documents ever written. Using the fruits of recent biblical research, Peter O'Brien shows how Ephesians sums up God's magnificent plan of salvation in Christ and spells out his divine purpose for believers today. A model of the scholarly excellence characteristic of the entire PNTC series (which now features a striking new jacket design), O'Brien's Ephesians will become the standard work on this profoundly influential book.

This commentary provides a deatailed introduction to, and exposition of, the letter to the Ephesians. O'Brian engages with recent debates, providing a defence of Paul's authorship of the letter in the face of contrary academic opinion.

Includes bibliographical references (p. xv-xxxiii) and indexes.
