Even though it was written some two
millennia ago, Ephesians still speaks to Christians today in themes
quite familiar to the modern reader. In a predominantly Gentile context,
the Christian community needed to be reminded of the priority of Israel
and the astonishing work of reconciliation that God willed to
accomplish in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This
new volume in the highly acclaimed New Testament Library series reveals
the great theological promises of Ephesians while discussing issues of
context, authorship, and style.
This volume of the New Testament
Library offers a thorough and careful commentary on the complicated book
of Hebrews, showing its meaning within the context of ancient culture
and the theological development of the early church. Written by one of
the leading New Testament scholars of the present generation, Luke
Timothy Johnson, this commentary offers remarkable insights into the
Hellenistic, Roman, and Jewish contexts of the book of Hebrews.
