PAUL'S LETTER TO THE EPHESIANS

CPH New Testament Commentary

By: Edward D. Andrews,Thomas F. Marshall

In an age where the essence and boundaries of the Church are questioned, "PAUL'S LETTER TO THE EPHESIANS: CPH New Testament Commentary" offers an incisive, historically grounded exposition on one of the New Testament’s most transformative letters. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesian church with a desire to elaborate on the grand scheme of God's eternal plan. Through the lens of this epistle, this volume unravels complex themes, offering clarity and deep insights, that fortify the reader's understanding of both the Christian faith and the institution of the Church. Indispensable Background and Context The work opens with an enlightening introduction, followed by an outline, setting the stage for the subsequent exegetical journey. It provides crucial historical, sociopolitical, and theological background, contextualizing the situations that the Ephesian Christians faced and how Paul's words aimed to guide them. Rich Exegetical Treatment Adhering to a literal translation philosophy and employing the objective Historical-Grammatical method, the commentary carefully dissects each chapter of Ephesians. You will discover how Paul likens the Church to a Body, a Temple, a Mystery, a New Creation, and even to roles within a household and a soldier in battle. Each likeness serves as an intricate facet, revealing the multifaceted institution that God envisioned the Church to be. Addressing Difficult Texts Each chapter concludes with a "Bible Difficulties" section, where commonly misunderstood or misinterpreted texts are put under the microscope. Employing rigorous conservative scholarship, the commentary dispels doubts and misconceptions, reinforcing the inerrancy of Scripture. Apologetic Undertone Beyond mere exposition, this book has a robust apologetic undertone. It serves as a defense of the Christian faith, addressing contemporary issues and challenges through the lens of Paul’s teachings. It unequivocally establishes that there is no universal salvation and that the concept of "once saved always saved" is unscriptural. It also emphasizes that while we live in an age of grace, obedience to Christ remains paramount. Who This Book is For Scholars, seminary students, pastors, and committed laypersons will find this volume an invaluable resource. It serves as a comprehensive guide for sermon preparation, academic study, and for anyone eager to dive deep into understanding God’s purpose for the Church as laid out in Paul's Letter to the Ephesians. Comprehensive Concluding with a meticulous bibliography, the book is exhaustive but not exhausting, making it accessible for readers at a 10th to 11th-grade reading level. It employs simplified terminology, concrete examples, and visual aids to ensure that even complex theological concepts are easily grasped. In a world filled with spiritual confusion and doctrinal dilution, "PAUL'S LETTER TO THE EPHESIANS: CPH New Testament Commentary" stands as a beacon, guiding the reader back to the immutable truths of God's Word. It is not just a book to be read but a treasure to be explored.

Paul's 'Works of the Law' in the Perspective of Second Century Reception

By: Matthew J. Thomas

Paul's 'Works of the Law' in the Perspective of Second Century Reception

By: Matthew J. Thomas

Paul writes that we are justified by faith apart from 'works of the law', a disputed term that represents a fault line between 'old' and 'new' perspectives on Paul. Was the Apostle reacting against the Jews' good works done to earn salvation, or the Mosaic Law's practices that identified the Jewish people? Matthew J. Thomas examines how Paul's second century readers understood these points in conflict, how they relate to 'old' and 'new' perspectives, and what their collective witness suggests about the Apostle's own meaning. Surprisingly, these early witnesses align closely with the 'new' perspective, though their reasoning often differs from both viewpoints. They suggest that Paul opposes these works neither due to moralism, nor primarily for experiential or social reasons, but because the promised new law and covenant, which are transformative and universal in scope, have come in Christ.

The Acts of Peter, Gospel Literature, and the Ancient Novel

Rewriting the Past

By: Christine M. Thomas

The Acts of Peter, one of the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles that detail the exploits of the key figures of early Christianity, provides a unique window into the formation of early Christian narrative. Like the Gospels, the Acts of Peter developed from disparate oral and written narrative from the first century. The apocryphal text, however, continued to develop into a number of re-castings, translations, abridgements, and expansions. The Acts of Peter present Christian narrative in an alternate universe, in which canonization did not halt the process of creative re-composition. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Thomas examines the sources and subsequent versions of the Acts, from the earliest traditions through the sixth-century Passions of the Apostles, arguing the importance of its "narrative fluidity": the existence of the work in several versions or multiforms. This feature, shared with the Jewish novels of Esther and Daniel, the Greek romance about Alexander the Great, and the Christian Gospels, allows these narratives to adapt to accommodate the changing historical circumstances of their audiences. In each new version, the audiences' defining conflicts were reflected in the text, echoing a historical consciousness more often identified with primary oral societies, in which the account of the past is a malleable script explaining the present. Although the genre most closely comparable to these works is the ancient novel, their serious historical intent separates them from the later, more self-consciously fictive novels, and maintains them within the realm of the earlier historical novels produced by ethnic subcultures within the Roman empire.
