DESCRIPTION

Ephesians has long been a favorite New Testament book among Christians. Its exalted languageand soaring metaphors inspire devotion and worship. But too often the expositor's scrutiny has reduced this letterto a string of theological ideas and practical topics. Timothy Gombis in The Drama of Ephesians has rediscovered this epistle as a deeply dramatic text that follows the narrative arc of the triumph of God in Christ.

Here Paul invites the church to celebrate and participate inthis divine victory over the powers of this present age.In Gombis's dramatic reading of Ephesians we are drawn into a theological and cultural engagement with this epochal story of redemption. The Drama of Ephesians stands in the scantly occupied shelf space between commentaries and specialized studies in Ephesians, giving us a unified and dynamic perspective on this classic text. It is a book that will renew your excitement for studying, preaching and teaching this great letter of Paul.
