Book Overview
"More than any other book of the Bible, Ephesians displays the great purpose and plan of God for the church," Walter Liefeld writes. "It provides a perspective that is unique: God's--and the believer's--view from the 'heavenly realms.'"For those who long to delve into the mind and purposes of God, few books are more helpful than Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Here the apostle paints in broad strokes the great plan of God for his church, centered on its head, Jesus Christ, and living out its calling in praise of God's glory. Beginning with doxology, Paul calls on the church to support its words of praise with deeds to match. Christians today will find here inspiration and insight that will confirm their allegiances and shape their lives.

A Excellent Exposition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The previous review does not explain why its an average work. Like he said, the IVP NT Series does not pretend to be comprehensive, but pastoral. To give it three stars because it isn't 700 pages like a thoroughly critical commentary is unfair. The fact is that at 178 pages its still longer than the majority of Ephesians commentaries in existence. Ben Witherington's commentary is shorter, as are the commentaries written by Charles Talbert, N.T. Wright, and a host of others. Liefeld's work is excellent. He gives a great overview of the text without getting bogged down. Like most expositional commentaries are, this one definitely helps to see the whole forest of the texts instead of getting lost in the individual trees like Best's or Hoehner's, who both at times seem to forget what they said ten pages before on the very same topic. Liefeld does not have such a problem, which results in a brief but helpful commentary on Ephesians.
