Ephesians: Evangelical Exegetical Commentary

S. M. Baugh

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul emphasizes the unity of believers in the inaugurated new creation. He first sets before his audience the salvation freely offered to us through faith in Christ, then applies this truth to their lives, calling them to live lives of love. In this volume, S. M. Baugh approaches this important letter from a first-century perspective, examining ancient sources to determine what Paul's words meant in their ancient context, while also interacting with recent scholarship. The result is a commentary that is academically rigorous and at the same time presents Ephesians as the good news it was meant to be.

Praise for this book

"S. M. Baugh's commentary on Ephesians is a model of how commentaries ought to be written and organized. The fruit of thirty years of study, Baugh's Ephesians is packed with exegetical insight, well-expressed in clarity of analysis and charity of argument. It is also filled with pastoral wisdom and helpful application. Baugh's defense of Pauline authorship of Ephesians in the context of his larger discussion of the composition of such first century epistles is compelling. If you plan on preaching through Ephesians (or Paul's letters in general), this is a 'must have' volume."
