This volume is a verse-by-verse and section-by-section exposition of the pivotal epistle from the apostle Paul to the church at Ephesus. Chafer focuses on how this letter is a revelation of God's plan in and for the church. He further points out its close relationship to other Pauline letters.In a concept developed nowhere else in the New Testament, Paul, in Ephesians, speaks of "the heavenly places" as the realm of redemption. Chafer reveals it is with this theology that Paul offers practical exhortations to Christians in their daily lives.
