... may we be grateful that Richard D. Phillips, a seasoned and skilled preacher of the Word of God, has gifted the church with this expository commentary on this precious letter. Phillips' Ephesians will help you to see in new ways the riches and the depths of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Guy Prentiss Waters James M. Baird, Jr. Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi
Dr Phillips expounds the text in keeping with the apostle's own concerns. It's done in a way that spells out the sheer wonder of the salvation proclaimed in the gospel. In particular, Dr Phillips draws out the idea that what believers experience in time has its roots in what God has decreed from eternity and what Christ has secured in history. Its ultimate horizon is in eternity to come. He homes in on the key doctrines that underpin the apostle's message. They explore the flow of God's unfolding purpose in salvific history. The author is eclectic in the historical and biographical sources he cites and repeatedly brings his readers back to the relevance of Paul's message for Christians today.
