Add to basketPaperback. One would think, that nearly 2,000 years after Paul had written the book of Ephesians, the Church would have exhausted the meanings of its secrets and the subtleties of its form. Not so. Rare is the commentator who deals with the pronoun puzzle of the first two chapters, other than to give a short, shallow mention about two verses. Few are those who explain the mysteries-the secrets-of Paul's gospel explained in the epistle. And why in the world would Paul rejoice that Gentile believers had become fellow-citizens of a nation that he said God has cast off? There are translation issues. And beyond these difficulties, the great mystery, or secret, of chapter five opens the door of understanding to chronological dilemmas of Genesis one and two!This book is not a rehash of the standard, academic jargon usually associated with commentaries. It is a fresh search of the text for the answers to these inscrutable enigmas. But they are only to be grasped by those with an ardent longing to know God's plan and purpose. That is what this letter is about. The secrets are standing in silence just beyond the reach of popular traditions. Both thematic and chiastic outlines are used to focus on these prominent Ephesian luminations, and detailed appendices delve deeply into these issues. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
