Paul: Missionary of Jesus
Paul: Missionary of Jesus, by Paul Barnett
“This wonderful book puts together Acts and Paul’s own writings in a fashion that is believable, attentive to the texts themselves, and full of life and vitality. …Insights into the biblical material leap from many pages. I hope this volume will circulate widely.”
~ D.A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
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)
“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.”
~ Darrell Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary
Grace: The Message of Ephesians, by Mark Dever
THIS LINK will take you to the audio for a sermon on Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians preached my Mark Dever at Capital Hill Baptist Church while leading his church through a survey of the New Testament. These sermons were recapitulated in his book The Message of the New Testament:Promises Kept. I think well of the book and used it in a New Testament survey class that I taught to college freshmen.
