Ephesians. Lynn H. Cohick

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ readers to sing with Julian that all shall be well. In this epistle, sin has been overcome by Christ’s death on the cross. Saved by God’s grace through faith, Christians are seated with Christ in the heavens. They enjoy full fellowship through Christ’s work in making the two (Jew and Gentile) into one holy people, a temple of the Lord, the Body of Christ. Sealed with the Holy Spirit, they are empowered for holy living.

      It has been my joy to wade into this epistle, with its exuberant, extravagant language that, like a stained glass window lit up by the sun’s rays, casts a radiant picture of God and his church. I offer my deepest thanks to Craig Keener and Michael Bird for their invitation to participate in the New Covenant Commentary Series. Their shrewd comments helped me think more clearly and strengthened my arguments. My sincere appreciation goes to the editorial team at Wipf and Stock, especially Chris Spinks, who made the publishing process smooth and efficient. I am indebted to Wheaton College and my dean, Jill Baumgaertner, and associate dean, Jeffrey Greenman, for providing release time to pursue this delightful project. I am deeply grateful to my colleague Michael Graves for our fruitful dialogues on the Greek text of Ephesians. My teaching assistant, Adam Cieszkiewicz, exceeded the call of duty in his diligent research, proofreading, and insightful suggestions for content in the Fusing the Horizons sections. I am truly thankful for the loving support of my children, Sarah and C. J. I dedicate this book to my husband, Jim, who has never failed to love me “just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her” (Eph 5:25).
