Ephesians: Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (EEC)
Book details
Summary
Description
In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul emphasizes the unity of believers in the inaugurated new creation. He first sets before his audience the salvation freely offered to us through faith in Christ, then applies this truth to their lives, calling them to live lives of love. In this volume, S. M. Baugh approaches this important letter from a first-century perspective, examining ancient sources to determine what Paul's words meant in their ancient context, while also interacting with recent scholarship. The result is a commentary that is academically rigorous and at the same time presents Ephesians as the good news it was meant to be.

Although a helpful addition to the commentaries on Ephesians, I found his analysis of the first chapter, particularly 1:3-14, to have missed the mark.
Baugh uses his view of how a letter would have been read in order to divide these verses into sections. I found this to be quite confusing and, ultimately, inaccurate. A more helpful look at the opening chapter, specifically, is the TNTC commentary by Darrell Bock.
