Ephesians

The books of the Bible were given names many years after they were written. Many of the "books" are not books at all, but were letters that were written to individuals or groups of people. In the 4th century the writings were "canonized," brought together into a single book, the Bible. Religious scholars of that time made the determinations as to which writings would be included in the Bible and gave names to the books. That was not always an easy task and at times the scholars had to rely upon their best judgment and understanding. Such is the case with the "Epistle of Paul to the Ephesians." Ron McRay, in his normal, frank, straight-forward way, takes the time that is needed to show from the Bible itself how past understandings of this book do not agree with scripture. He covers the dating, setting, author and recipients from a biblical perspective. Discover what the true message was from the author to this group of people. How were they to handle their problems and situations in light of the not too distant past crucifixion of Christ? What changes needed to be made, if any? Who were these people and what place did they have in God's magnificent plan?
