In The Vision of Ephesians Tom Wright takes you on an exciting journey through one of the most profound texts in the New Testament.
In just a few powerful pages, Ephesians presents a sweeping panorama of the Christian gospel, tracing God's redemptive plan from the creation of the world to the time when God will be 'all in all'. At its core, the book highlights the transformative work of Jesus the Messiah and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.
Wright masterfully unpacks Paul's vision of the church - what it is, what it is for, and what it means to be part of the new humanity that God is creating in Jesus. This breath-taking vision of God's purpose for humanity comes into sharper focus when we remember that Paul was writing from prison, urging his readers to engage in spiritual warfare, standing firm in the victory won on the cross as that victory unfolds across the world.
The Vision of Ephesians is a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the depth and beauty of one of the New Testament's most captivating letters.
