Introduction to Ephesians

Ephesians stands as one of Paul's most profound theological letters, presenting the highest view of the church as the body of Christ and the mystery of God's eternal plan to unite all things in Christ. Written during Paul's Roman imprisonment around AD 60-62, this letter was likely intended as a circular letter to multiple churches in the region around Ephesus, the great commercial and religious center of Asia Minor. The letter soars to theological heights as it describes the believer's position ""in Christ"" and the church's role as God's masterpiece, created to display His wisdom to the heavenly realms. Ephesians emphasizes the unity of Jewish and Gentile believers in one body, the spiritual warfare that believers face, and the practical implications of living as God's holy people in a fallen world.
