The Letter to the Ephesians (Pillar New Testament Commentary)16 reviews
Peter T. O'Brien
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1999
Rich, Rewarding, Reliable
This is a great, focused, commentary on Ephesians. Peter O'Brien doesn't try to interpret Ephesians based on its rhetorical conventions, or on how it relates to our lives today. This is a straight forward, solid, verse by verse exposition of the epistle to the Ephesians. The introduction takes up around 80 pages or so and has a strong argument in support of Pauline authorship. He acknowledges ...

Practice Resurrection: A Conversation on Growing Up in Christ
Eugene H. Peterson
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2010
There is no question that bringing men and women to new birth in Christ is essential. But, argues Eugene Peterson, isn?t it obvious that growth in Christ is equally essential? Yet the American church does not treat Christian growth and character formation with equivalent urgency. We are generally uneasy with the quiet, obscure conditions in which growth takes place. Building maturity in Christ is too often relegated to footnote status in the ...

Frederick Fyvie Bruce
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1984
Bruce on Ephesians
As a practicing pastor who tries to develop sermons from the Greek text, I've been working through Ephesians. When I started my series a couple pastor friends recommended Stott's commentary on Ephesians, which I purchased. I also picked up about four or five other commentaries including this one. Then I've borrowed about a dozen more commentaries. As I have worked through the text (I'm now in ...

Ephesians: An Exegetical Commentary13 reviews
Harold Hoehner
Baker Academic, 2002
Excellent Commentary
Hoehner's commentary on Ephesians is fantastic. I researched quite a bit before purchasing this commentary, as I wanted to make certain that I purchased a commentary that was truly exegetical. This commentary surpassed my expectations. Hoehner's comprehensive discussions on each passage provide the student with thorough and theologically rich commentary.
Especially helpful is that Hoehner ...

Ephesians Bible Study
This book is wonderful for small groups. It is easy to understand, encourages your personal thoughts, and makes it easy to participate for the young Christian as well as the older Christian. Not young or old in age but in Christian living!
Great book! Joan

Paul for Everyone: The Prison Letters : Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon5 reviews
Tom Wright
Westminster John Knox Press, 2004
WOW
Tom Wright is amazing. He changed my Theology in Seminary (in a good way as "N.T." Wright and when he came to speak to Asbury) and now he amazes me with this easy to read and even easier to understand commentary set. I have only bought this one book, but will be saving up (as only a new pastor can) for the entire commentary set. Please find this book. Read page 100-104 about the mind of Christ ...

Ephesians: 11 Studies for Individuals and Groups (N. T. Wright for Everyone Bible Study Guides)
N. T. Wright
IVP Connect, 2009
Have you noticed how sometimes you have a story in the back of your mind that keeps coming up, even when you're talking about something else? In Ephesians, throughout its worship, prayers and instructions for living, Paul can't contain his joy and amazement at the larger story of God's plan to save us in Jesus the Messiah. These eleven studies from Tom Wright will help us see the significance of our role in God's grand narrative, and encourage ...

The Message of Ephesians (The Bible Speaks Today)3 reviews
John R. W. Stott
InterVarsity Press, 1979
Commentary was very readable and helpful
Dr. Stott has written a very helpful commentary from the evangelical perspective. This commentary was a very helpful guide to me and another lay leader, as we co-led a church Bible study. Stott primarily uses the NRSV English translation, but also uses Greek when necessary. When he does use Greek, he transliterates into English and explains things clearly to the English reader.
Exegetically, ...

This book is a tremendous Bible study that only requires 15 minutes a day. But in that short amount of time, you will quickly become familiar with the content of two books -- Galatians and Ephesians. Paul's letter to the Galatians will teach you about the freedom of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the letter to the Ephesians will teach you how to walk in that freedom. This inductive survey of ...

Ephesians: An Expositional Commentary1 review
James Boice
Baker Books, 2006
Ephesians
**** Ephesians has been termed the Queen of the Epistles, a symphony of the New Testament, and of all the maestros to conduct that suite, James Montgomery Boice is among the most adept. Putting deep theological concepts into layman's terms in a readable fashion without dumbing it down takes a master's touch. That is what you find in this book. Using the rest of scripture to interpret Paul's ...

Ephesians4 reviews
Klyne Snodgrass
Zondervan, 1996
Great Help!
As a minister, I decided to preach through the book of Ephesians. Because I tend to preach with a more exegetical style, I was very interested in having a commentary that examined the history of the text and gave practical use for today. This commentary accomplished all of this and more. Yes, there were times when I felt that Snodgrass's application was perhaps not for what I was looking. ...

The Letters to Philemon, the Colossians, and the Ephesians: A Socio-rhetorical Commentary on the Captivity ...1 review
Ben Witherington III
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2007
Excellent library addition
Witherington delivers exactly what the title provides - an excellent socio-rhetorical commentary. He breaks down each letter into its rhetorical components such as exordium, narratio, etc. and delivers quality analysis of the text through that lens. There are a couple of shortcomings: (i) the introductory rhetorical overview between Ephesians, Colossians and Philemon is a bit unorganized ...

Ephesians (MacArthur Bible Studies)9 reviews
John MacArthur
Thomas Nelson, 2006
Excellent Bible study tool
John MacArthur has a wonderful gift of commentating on the Scriptures. This is the only one of his Bible study commentary series that I have used so far, but I look forward to using more of this series in the future. This one on Ephesians is tremendous. Highly recommend to any serious student of the Bible.

The Unnecessary Pastor: Rediscovering the Call7 reviews
Marva J. Dawn, Eugene H. Peterson
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1999
Masterful Challange
Again Peterson exemplifies the heart of the true pastor. This is my first time reading Marva Dawn. I just finished this book and found much to help me in the midst of being a small rural church pastor. I was surprised by the review by the reader in Ohio. Although the other works by Peterson, flow better, the dialogue between Dawn and Peterson was refreshing. Ephesians is the classic source ...

The Letter to the Galatians and Ephesians (New Daily Study Bible)
Westminster John Knox Press, 2002
The Letter to the Galatians proclaims that Christiantiy was dependent upon nothing but God's free gift of grace, bestowed on all who would accept that gift by faith, Gentile and Jew alike. Because it declares this universality and confutes the Judaizing Christians, the letter is one of the great theological cornerstones of Christianity, according to Dr. Barclay.

Ephesians Small Group & Individual Bible Study
This is an outstanding small group or individual Bible study on the book of Ephesians. John Stott does a marvelous job of summarizing the message of the book as you go through the lessons. The questions are thought provoking and instructive. It helps to read the commentaries that match up with the studies. These are also available from Intervarsity press.
