Overview

This commentary, in outline form, is an excellent study guide. To recommend it to all of God’s people is a joy. It is not a book to be read hurriedly but a book to be studied carefully, Bible in hand. Used in this manner, this book will greatly assist the reader is understanding the great and blessed truths hidden in The Book of Ephesians, truths concerning the intimate relationship between Christ and his church.

Our present materialistic age, lost in spiritual darkness, greatly needs men who “shine as lights in this world,” men who unashamedly “hold forth the word of life.” Such a man is the author of this book. He is a light both in his life and his words, to all who know him. He, through the gifts given to him by the Spirit, effectively transmits the light of his Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, “the Light of this world.”
