Synopsis

Displaying Grace and Truth in Divisive Circumstances

Written near the end of Paul's life, the letters to the Ephesians and Colossians share themes of unity, grace, and growth. The apostle Paul encourages the churches to remain faithful to Christ's teachings and emphasizes oneness in the Spirit. Ephesians offers a broad theological vision with grace as its foundation, while Colossians addresses local concerns, emphasizing Christ's sufficiency and growth in faith. Both letters center on Jesus as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, calling believers to live in unity and keep their focus on Christ.

In this volume, Scot McKnight looks past the abstractions of Ephesians and Colossians and offers practical guidance for Christian living. These profound teachings continue to resonate, offering timeless encouragement to Christians.
