Context The letter of Ephesians is the tenth book of the New Testament, its authorship is attributed to Paul after his conversion from persecutor of Christians to apostle. The legitimacy of his authorship is still debated by researchers. Harold Hoehner, in his book “Ephesians: An Exegetical Commentary,” lists a number of reasons why many scholars reject Paul as an author. But, for the purposes of this exegetical, Paul is considered the author of the letter. The letter is estimated to have been written in 60-61 AD (Arnold, 3). It is believed that it was also intended for many other churches located in this area. As a result, during this period Paul was a prisoner in Rome for two years. (Hoehner, 92).Paul wrote the letter to the church in Ephesus which was located in western Asia Minor. It was an important city in the Roman Empire because it represented a multi-ethnic trading region and it was largely populated. Ephesus was also filled with many pagan customs like the worship of Artemis, gods, and magical practices (Arnold, 3-5). Yet because they heard the gospel that Paul shared with them, many Jews and Gentiles converted to Christianity. Like most of Paul's letters, Ephesians is very structured and consists of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Ephesians can be divided into two, which separate the theological basis for Christian unity and the practical instruction for its maintenance (Patzia, 228). The progression of the letter begins with an introduction from Paul where he greets and blesses his audience, the church. from Ephesus, and introduces himself. It follows the explanation that they were predestined in God's plan for his glory. He goes on to state that we are dead because of our sins but now we are...... middle of paper ...... aim for the greatness of God. Paul declares the power and supremacy of God (v.6b) Who is over all, through all, and in all. God is above all things, he has a transcendent sovereignty (Gaebelein, 56) His absolute right to do all things according to his good pleasure; about heaven, earth and all the so-called gods and goddesses (Arnold, 26); and also about people. God is through all things, which describes his omnipresence (Patzia, 234), a special attribute of God for being in every place at the same time. He is in everything (Arnold, 26) And God is in all things, omnipotence of God over all creation (Arnold, 26) unlimited extent of divine power. Works Cited Arnold, Clinton E. Ephesians.
