A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on Ephesians

The Letters to Philemon, the Colossians, and the Ephesians: A Socio-rhetorical Commentary on the Captivity Epistles (Eerdman’s Socio-rhetorical Series of Commentaries on the New Testament), by Ben Witherington III

“Ben Witherington’s rhetorical approach to the letters to Philemon, the Colossians, and the Ephesians sheds important new light on questions that have puzzled and divided interpreters for generations.  Fresh and insightful throughout, this reader-friendly commentary strongly supports Pauline authorship by clarifying the distinctive features of these interesting letters and the various circumstances of their respective recipients.  Highly recommended!”
~ Craig A. Evans, Acadia Divinity College

“A solid commentary, a sane introcuction, and a superior integration of these letters historically and culturally.  The Letters to Philemon, the Colossians, and the Ephesians is Witherington at his best.  Anyone with questions about how these letters function and who wrote them would do well to start and finish here.”
