Continuing the Smyth & Helwys Publishing tradition of quality Bible study materials that are informed by sensible theology and accsible to the general laity for use in either personal, congregational, or classroom study, this study guide examines one of the apostle Paul's most widely-read prison letters. Containing much prayer and praise, the book of Ephesians begins with theological concepts and moves toward practical application of these concepts. Discussion focuses on God's plan to bring people of every nation and background together in Christ as evidenced in the church, salvation by grace, oneness in personal relationships and behavior, forsaking pagan practices, practicing Christian principles in the home, and putting on God's armor.
