Introduction to Ephesians

Here's my introduction to Ephesians, and its course.

Ephesians comes to us from the hand of the Apostle Paul. Written in A.D. 60 or 61, it is one of Paul's four "prison epistles" (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon), written during Paul's first Roman imprisonment. This letter was written to a church that Paul knew well, having himself spent three years in the city of Ephesus, doing mission work, prior to his imprisonment. The city of Ephesus was quite well known for its amphitheater, games, and especially the temple of Diana (Artemis) (See Acts 19:27,35), which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Paul's letter to the Ephesians deals, in the first half, with the riches and blessings we have in Christ (ch.1-3) and secondly, it covers lots of practical instruction on how to live out the Christian life, and to maintain a happy and godly family (ch.4-6). May you be blessed as you study this book!

Blessings in Christ!
