By Grace We Stand (eBook)

A Study in Ephesians

$9.98

The tightness of Paul’s syntax, the comprehensiveness of his doctrine, and the seamless integration of each respective doctrinal idea with all others make this (possibly excepting Romans) the most theologically magisterial of all of Paul’s writings.

Description

This Study Guide on Ephesians developed from a discipline of producing week-by-week notes on the Lifeway “Explore the Bible” curriculum. Following their purpose of going through the Bible once every seven years proved to prompt an edifying discipline of close contextual Bible study for me. This commentary is an expansion of those original Sunday Bible study notes through the years. I asked my sister, Sylvia Nettles Dickson, whose personal devotion to Scripture and practical insight have often encouraged me, to join this effort with her linguistic energy and love for growth under the power of truth. We pray for its usefulness by God’s providence and for his glory.
